TWO CYCLING TOURS
were held to raise funds needed for our charitable acitvities in 2007 and they were a great success.
The weather last year for the 2007 MARDI GRAS CENTURY was great and so no rain check were issued due to bad weather.
The 2007 THREE HARBORS TOUR went very well and we are looking forward to the 2008 THREE HARBORS TOUR .

Ventura Velo helped support a team of 6 riders in this past year's California Coast Classic Tour (CCCT). Team Ventura Velo raised almost $29,000 for The Arthritis Foundation and had fun riding in last year's CCCT, which was sponsored by Amgen. Check out the Team's Donation Webpage for more information on the totals raised by each team member.

The 2008 Mardi Gras Century was another success. This tour rode on Saturday, February 23, 2008. We enjoyed the bicycling Krewes participating in costume again. If you need special Krewe information please contact Ventura Velo. The expected rain held off until the end of the day, so very few rain checks were issued to riders who decided not to come due to weather concerns or illness. Those riders who requested rain checks will be able to ride in this summer's Three Harbors Tour which will ride on JULY 5th.
