   | Why ride with a group? Riding a bicycle, regardless of whether you’re a serious road cyclist, commuter, trail rider, or weekend athlete, is done mainly for the FUN of riding. With this in mind, we would like to take this one step further and put purpose behind our riding.
Along with the FUN why don’t we have an impact on the world that we live in? How do we do this? Let us explain…
The bicycle, believe it or not, has historically been the vehicle of not only people trying to get from one place to another, but also one of societal change.
With the advent of the mass production of the bicycle, individuals have enjoyed for years the same freedoms we feel today on two wheels. Cyclists championed the development of our original roadway system. The emancipation of women concurred with their use of the bicycle to empower their organization of protest.

|  | "Wheel Ride for Food"
(WRFF) has 2 distinct goals; 1) Provide an event  for beginning & intermediate cyclists, their familes &
friends to ride the beautiful backroads of rural WNC, & 2) Raise funds for
"Meals on Wheels"-Buncombe County.
The Road Ride will consist of a Metric Century (65 miles) and
Half-Metric (30-ish miles). Both routes offer a challenging and scenic ride
throughout the river district and various parts of Asheville and Buncombe County
before returning to Festival Village and joining other WRFF riders in a finish
line party.
Each day in Buncombe County, over 550 homebound elderly depend on
Meals On Wheels for a hot, nutritious meal and a friendly visit. We believe
these seniors deserve our respect and the opportunity to live in their own homes
among familiar surroundings and maintain their dignity while aging. By helping
them, we are assisting the families who love them and the community we live in.
