The Point Loma Rotary Club and Moment Bicycles invite you to “ride the hidden, unridden, and forbidden Point Loma” in the fourth annual Jim Krause Memorial Charity Bicycle Ride on Nov. 12. The ride will start and end at Liberty Station and traverse exclusive scenic bike paths and routes around beautiful San Diego. Participation is limited to the first 500 registrants – space is currently limited – visit www.RideThePoint.org to sign up and learn more about Ride the Point’s mission to support innovative pancreatic cancer research. There is an after-ride free healthy lifestyle expo at Oggi’s that is open to the public. Jim Krause was an esteemed philanthropist, avid cyclist, and long-time Point Loma resident who lost his battle with pancreatic cancer in 2012. Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths and the scientific community in San Diego is rapidly advancing research to find a cure. Ride the Point is pleased to partner with the UCSD Moores Cancer Center to fund research that will enhance the knowledge of pancreatic cancer and introduce new technologies for improved treatments for pancreatic cancer. The 10 mile is a relatively flat course on bike paths in Liberty Station, Spanish Landing, and Harbor Island along beautiful San Diego Bay and is perfect for cruisers, beginning riders, challenged athletes, and families. The 25 and 62 mile are street rides with exclusive routes and challenging climbs around Cabrillo National Monument, Sunset Cliffs, Ocean Beach, Mission Bay, Mission Valley, and Mission Gorge. The ride will also include “King of the Mountain” and “Queen of the Mountain” time trials from the Point Loma tide pools. For more information on Ride the Point, visit www.RideThePoint.org.
