I am going to update the LoveRide 25 re our Mitochondrial Disease group. We will pre-register (details below) and meet at Francie's Pub & Grill in Corona to ride as a group. We will wear our Mito Love Ride T-shirts (courtesy of Von Dutch) and ride our own route to Pomona. Please feel free to join us on the ride and represent mito! EJ and Debbie Fogle are the parents of Taryn Fogle, a 6yr-old girl suffering from mitochondrial disease...

Ok friends... I have been saying that we had some good news, and here it is...
Through our ( Mine and Debbies ) advocacy efforts we have now have had the UMDF ( United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation ) accepted as beneficiaries of the LOVE RIDE 25!!!
If you don’t know about the ride, its one of the biggest rides in the country and it takes place here in So-Cal. It attracts major celebs and thousands of people. We are honored to have been taken on with such a great event, especially this year because it is their silver 25th anniversary ride and its gonna be a whopper!!
We are now forming our ride crew... Who will ride with us to the Love Ride for Team Taryn??
If you want to ride with us you need to pre-register for the ride ( best way to do this because to try to register the day of will be too crazy and you will pay more... ) and then meet us at Francie’s Bar and Grill in Corona, Main and River Rd. OCT 26th at 0830 for breakfast and with your proof or registration we will give you your Taryn’s Hope 4 Life shirt to ride to the event in and wear at the event to show your support for UMDF / Taryns Hope 4 Life which are being designed by Alex Mardikian of Von Dutch Kustom Cycles.

The following is ticket info:
We have a few ticket options this year. First, a person can pre-register online at loveride.org or in store at HDG and save $5.00, ticket price is $70.00 and then go directly to the Fairplex in Pomona and pick up their entry tickets, 2 beverage tickets, meal ticket and incentives (pin, patch,
bandanna). They can also skip the early online registration and go directly to the Fairplex in Pomona and pay the entrance fee of $75.00 which includes the entry ticket, meal ticket and beverage tickets and maybe a pin (if not sold out); Then another option is Ticket Master, go
http://www.calweek.com/ for these tickets, these tickets are less expensive but do not include the meal ticket, beverage tickets, and incentive packages (pin, patch and bandanna) I believe these tickets are for entry only in to the trade show and Love Ride on Sunday and will be selling for $55.00 starting August 9th (I think).
I strongly recommend pre-registering online at www.loveride.org, in store at HDG or at Ticketmaster as I have a feeling we may sell out this year because of the entertainment.
Thanks, email us for more info.
