The Ninth Annual Ride For A Reason, to benefit Special Olympics, will take place on Saturday, April 4 from 8 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the Sheraton Hotel and Conference Center in Burlington, VT. Participants in the indoor cycling marathon will pedal for six hours while being led by Master Instructor Angie Scott, Master Instructor Anthony Musemici from New York City, Star 3 Spinning Instructor and personal trainer Melissa Marotta and spinning instructor Raquel Schmidt from Buffalo, New York.
"Mixing fitness and fundraising, Ride for a Reason is led by instructors from around the country and will feature live music and hourly raffles. Following the ride, participants are invited to stay for a celebratory luncheon. The fundraiser has steadily grown since its inception in 2000; last year’s marathon brought in 140 participants and more than $60,000, with all proceeds benefiting the Special Olympics Vermont.
The 2009 6-Hour Ride for a Reason will feature a unique Compu Trainer from Dee Physical Therapy, while SUUNTO will outfit riders with transmitter belts worn underneath the shirt. These belts will wirelessly transmit near laboratory-accurate information on heart rate, oxygen consumption and other physiological variables to the SUUNTO Team POD, which will then display the performance data in real-time on a screen.
All participants will receive a 6-Hour Ride short sleeve wick shirt. The more you raise the more cool gear you could win including a 6-Hour Ride long sleeve wick shirt, 6-Hour Ride cycling jersey and/or a 6-Hour Ride soft shell jacket."
