In 2006 and 2007, Ventura Velo donated funds to Habitat for Humanity and the Arthritis Foundation.
Funds from our future fund raising events, the Mardi Gras Century and Three Harbors Tour, will be use to support Ventura Velo's efforts to advocate for bicycling interests and also to donate to other charitable organizations selected by our board of directors.

Our staff continues to assist
in the maintenance of
local cycling routes.
You, the local riders can help

TWO CYCLING TOURS
are held each year to raise funds needed for our charitable activities. Ventura Velo was founded in 2005 and since then we have held 7 century bicycle tours and 1 transcontinental tour as well as smaller recreational bike rides.
Planning has already started for the 2009 Mardi Gras Tour, which rides on February 28, 2009, and for the 2009 Three Harbors Tour, which rides on July 11, 2009.

Ventura Velo helped support a team of 6 riders in last year's California Coast Classic Tour (CCCT). Team Ventura Velo raised almost $29,000 in 2007 for The Arthritis Foundation and had fun riding in last year's CCCT, which was sponsored by Amgen. Check out the 2008 Team's Donation Webpage for an update on this year's fundraising efforts for the Arthritis foundation.

The 2008 Mardi Gras Century was another success.
We enjoyed the bicycling Krewes participating in costume again. If you need Krewe information for next years Mardi Gras Tour, please contact Ventura Velo. The expected rain held off until the end of the day, so very few rain checks were issued to riders who decided not to come due to weather concerns or illness.
The 2008 Three Harbors Tour was another great ride we know you riders will come back again for next years events.
