HOW100 riders on the Natchez Trace Parkway
On-line registration is open for this year's ride (Saturday, September 6, 2008). Once you register, we will send you a Welcome packet to get you started should you choose to fundraise for our cause in addition to riding on September 6th.
Begin your fundraising early to make progress towards winning a prize for your fundraising efforts. See all details of prior years' prizes under the Incentive Prizes tab at right.
Corporate sponsors insure the success of the HOW100 by making commitments in cash or product for our ride.
What does this mean to you as a participant?
It means all expenses of the event have been more than covered, so 100% of your registration fee and fundraising will go directly to research.
Each year prior to registration opening, the Hope on Wheels Team asks corporate sponsors to contribute cash, goods and services to ensure that the minimal expenses of our cycling event will be fully covered. In each year since our inception, our expenses have been a very small percentage of the initial corporate contributions. All corporate monies in excess are directed to breast cancer research, along with the dollars of participants' registration and fundraising. We are happy to report that for 2008 we have our strongest beginning ever! We have collected over $20,000 in cash and have commitments for greater than $10,000 in products and services for Hope on Wheels 2008.
Be sure to take a minute to note the names of our generous supporters and remember to say thank you
when you have an opportunity.

Cloudy skies did nothing to diminish the glow of the 2007 Hope on Wheels; they only served to keep it cool for our riders. Mark your calendar for September 6, 2008 (first Saturday after Labor Day) for the ride billed as " The World's Largest Chick Ride."

Check out the 2007 fun from HBC president Al Wagner's photos , as well as Bill Anders and his son Roark's shots.
