Background

Ride Cincinnati

Ride Cincinnati, which was held for the first time in 2007, is the first cycling event to raise funds for breast cancer research in the Greater Cincinnati area.  It is a non-competitive ride open to participants at all levels of skill. 

Ride Cincinnati was founded by Dr. Harvey Harris, Ronald Stern and Craig Cowit, three Cincinnatians whose families have been touched by breast cancer.  This event is dedicated to the life of Marlene Harris and all others who have, and continue to be, affected by this terrible disease.
