One Day Rides were created so that everyone is able to ride at least part of this event. Though shorter,
these routes are difficult, and we definitely recommend that everyone train!
Day One - "Velo de Virden"
 When Dave Virden Sr. was diagnosed with ALS in 2006 there was no hesitation from their close friends and family to come together to show their dedication and support. The incredible force that ensued was dubbed “Driven to a Cure”. This year the Trek is expanding on that dedication and our Day One ride will honor Dave Sr., join us for the inaugural “Velo de Virden”.
