ABOUT RIDE CINCINNATI

For four years, thousands of cycling participants of all abilities and ages enjoy bike riding in the annual non-competitive, family-oriented Ride Cincinnati event, while at the same time, raising important funds for breast cancer research.

The Ride Cincinnati's scenic course begins in the southern corner of downtown Cincinnati at Yeatman's Cove in Sawyer Point and continues over the pedestrian-only Purple People Bridge, then meanders through several cities in Northern Kentucky. The course returns cyclists back to the Ride Cincinnati Celebration Party at Sawyer Point.

Destination markers along the course guide participants to choose the length of their own personal ride.

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.

The 2010 Ride Cincinnati event will take place on Sunday, June 13 with the first cyclists leaving from the Yeatman's Cove starting line at 6:30 a.m.

All proceeds from Ride Cincinnati will benefit the UC Barrett Cancer Institute at University Hospital.
