2013 Mountain Charlie Challenge Fundraising Bike Ride

The SVEF has begun planning for the 11th Annual Mountain Charlie Challenge.  On May 4, 2013, we’ll again host a fabulous day at Skypark in Scotts Valley, CA.  Riders can tackle 50K, 100K or a 100-mile routes, with staffed rest stops and SAG support.  For our  younger or novice riders, we’ll be hosting the first Family Fun Ride — a guided, supported ride through beautiful Scotts Valley. If you don’t have a bike, no problem!  Be one of the first to register and we’ll provide a bike for you!

The SVEF Mountain Charlie Challenge is a fundraising bike ride to benefit all Scotts Valley public schools. All funds raised go directly to SVEF to support district-wide school programs. Last year we raised $29,000 for our schools. Help us raise even more this year!

All day we’ll have live music, kids activities, obstacle courses, safety, bike and helmet fittings, as well as arts and crafts, local artists, a fabulous BBQ lunch, beer wine, raffles and silent auction! Back To Nowhere will be our headliner band…a day not to be missed. Riders who bring in sponsors in addition to paying their entry fee will receive Mountain Chuck Bucks that can be redeemed for goods the day of the event.
