Jim Valvano is a legendary icon in the Triangle.  Ever since he succumbed to cancer in 1993 his family has carried on his legacy raising awareness of cancer and cancer research.  Earlier this month I wrote about the Jimmy V Rackets for Research which is a great event and a tremendous success.  Tomorrow the Jimmy V fundraisers continue with the 3rd Annual Jimmy V Ride for Research and Cary Cycling Celebration.  They are expecting over 500 cyclists so watch out for traffic delays and cyclists near the Regency area tomorrow. 

   If you've been motivated by the Tour de France this year this event is a good option to grab a bike and head to the event!  It's great exercise and a wonderful cause to support. 

There are a number of options for the cyclists ranging from a 25 mile ride all the way up to a Century Ride.

Other options for family members include a bicycle rodeo for kids aged 6-12 and family fun tours in the afternoon. 

I hope you enjoy the fun!
