Florida
based Stradalli Cycles /Papa John's woman’s race team is all geared up to
travel to various US racing events covering the Pro Road Tour Calendar
and USA Crit Series in 2016 but first this Domestic Elite Woman’s team
will be participating in a big charitable event, March 12th and 13th. The team will ride 160 miles across
Florida on there Stradalli R7 carbon bikes in “The Pan Florida Challenge”.
Hunger in
children is an epidemic. Florida has over 1 MILLION hungry kids (1 in 4),
ranking 5th worst in the nation. The Annual Pan-Florida
Challenge (PFC) for Hungry Kids, this year in its 3rd year, was
founded to do something about this problem. This year the PFC will have over
100 riders cycling more than 160 miles from Naples to West Palm Beach; 100% of
riders’ funds raised will provide meals for children in Florida and Haiti who
often find themselves with no food from the time they leave school on Friday
until they come back to school on Monday morning. This year’s goal is to provide 1,000,000
meals to those food-insecure kids – a bold increase over last year’s 700,000
meals.
The Stradalli Cycles / Papa John’s Elite Woman’s team will be
riding along side the other riders on Saturday and Sunday to bring awareness to
this cause. They will bring a level of professional cycling, energy, and fun to
this group of riders, many of whom have been training hard for months in order
to make it across the state in 2 days. Good fun, and a great cause!
