One of our core values is to support local cycling and our community. We want to thank you for your support of two recent local events that not only featured great rides but also supported local charities. Trek Poker Rideby Greg Pelican The Trek Poker Ride was a fun event that took place on December 3rd. Tony Prater our Ft. Myers store manager came up with the Poker theme and creating a ride that tied our Ft. Myers, Estero and Naples Stores together. The idea was to ride to each store and back and pick a card at each stop. This resulted in 5 stops (5 cards) for the out and back 80 mile trip from Ft. Myers, Estero and Naples. At the end of the day the best Poker hand (5 cards) won a gift basket worth $500. We did the same but with a blackjack hand for the a shorter 40 mile out and back route to Estero and back. We donated 100% of the entry fees to the local chapter of the United Way. I rode on the 80 mile ride with Sue Fleming, our Naples Store Manager and some of our fast Trek Tri Team triathletes. It was a blast! We had perfect weather and a nice fast group formed working a double paceline. The best part was the food stops every 20 miles at each Trek Store (cutorsey of sponsor Wells Fargo). Big thanks go out to the Caloosa Riders for their help in marking the route. It was fun seeing other groups coming and going on the road and in the stores. It was like a car rally. Once back in Ft. Myers Trek Triathlete Alex Sardina won the Poker hand with 3 aces. And there was a six way tie on the blackjack hand! This resulted in each picking another card and high card winning. And the winner is... Mark Cochran! We look forward to making this an annual event! Check out this short video! Irma Relief Ride Raises Over $13,000Trek was a proud sponsor of the Naples Velo promoted Irma Relief Ride. We want to thank all the volunteers, sponsors and participants for making the event a success. Over $13,000 to the Bonita Assistance Office and the Guadalupe Center for Immokalee.
