2009 Connecticut Challenge
Saturday, July 25th
Registration is Open

The 2008 Ride
Beautiful Sun, Great Ride,
Amazing Day
The weather records will show that Saturday, July 26, 2008 was sunny and warm, but anyone in the vicinity of the Greenfield Hill Church knows the sun shone brightest on the church green. From the Survivors Lap of Honor at 8:00am to the final finisher at 5:30pm, the green overflowed with spirit, fun and emotion as rider after rider – 427 in all – crossed the finish line with smiles on their faces and arms raised in celebration.
There is much more to be said about the 2008 Connecticut Challenge so keep checking the CT Challenge blog and look for photos from the day. Close to 1,000 riders, volunteers and families started the day with personal goals and motivations. We finished the day as one.
Words from one of our riders:
"I completed the ride with energy to spare and I really feel that my journey back to life is in full swing and much of it is because of the Ct Challenge. Last year the event came at the right time during my recovery and gave me hope that I could get past my cancer. This year it proved that I am passed it and can only move forward."
