8th Annual Mountains to the Desert Bike Ride

At 8:00 a.m. on September 24, 2011, we will take part in the grueling, 8th Annual Mountains to the Desert Ride. A spectacular, one day, bicycle ride from Telluride, Colorado to Gateway, Colorado. Our objective is to help with a great cause, complete the challenge, have some serious fun, and help raise $80,000 for the benefit of Just For Kids Foundation.

100% of all tax deductible funds donated by you, via your favorite rider, will go to Just For Kids Foundation; 100% of those funds will be matched by the Carstens Family, and 100% of the total raised will go directly to the regional organizations and individuals that offer critical programming for our youth.

A heartfelt thank you to our fabulous event sponsors who generously donate prizes, provide services, volunteer, and also write checks.
