Join us for the next Bike to the Beach Fundraiser in Downtown Washington, DC. We are going to be at the Play Lounge on [1219 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20036] raising money for Autism Speaks on Friday, July 18th. Its going to be a great chance to raise money for the cause and meet new people.

Bike to the Beach has partnered with the 20s & 30s Going Out Group, the ORIGINAL 20s & 30s group, and the 2nd largest meetup group in the world! This meetup is for people in their 20s and 30s, in the Washington DC metro area, who enjoy dancing, dining, pubs, clubs, outdoor activities, road trips, dinner parties, and... of course, Biking!! There is a suggested $10 donation that will go to Autism Speaks.

Our fundraisers typically bring out 150 - 250 folks and we expect a similar turnout this time around. Play is a colorful lounge that includes cube-style ottomans and low banquettes. If you have not been to Play, check out www.playloungedc.com or http://nightlife.meetup.com/161/calendar/8066983/ for more information.

Come after work and stay all-night!

Bike to the Beach will be hosting one of our last happy hours of the summer at 5:00pm on July, 11th at Tommy Joe's in Bethesda. The last time we hosted a happy hour at Tommy Joe's, 250 people showed up and helped us raise over $5,000! Please come on 7/11, bring your friends, and help us top those numbers.

Our goal this year is to raise at least $100,000 and have 100 riders. We have currently raised over $60,000, and 75 riders have registered. We hope that, with your help, this happy hour will push us closer to reaching our goals. Come by to donate, sign up to ride or volunteer, or just stop in for a good time for a good cause. All proceeds will be donated to Autism Speaks.

We will have NEW B2B T-Shirts, bracelets and other Bike to the Beach merchandise.

Bike to the Beach training programs!

Bike to the Beach has officially begun its training program. All those who plan to join B2B on August 1st are invited to participate in the biweekly training-rides around the D.C area. In fact, due to safety precautions, riders must complete at least 3 training rides before the August ride because we want to make sure everyone will have a good time during the charity ride.

The rides will be Tuesday evenings and Saturday afternoons (please see the schedule here). They are a great way to get in shape for Bike to the Beach and meet some of the other Bike to the Beachers. See you out there!

You can now donate to Bike to the Beach online!

Bike to the Beach is well on its way after this past weekend's Launch Party! We were very excited about the opportunity to educate people about our organization, summer bike ride, and our beneficiary, Autism Speaks, the world's largest advocacy organization dealing with Autism. All money raised by Bike to the Beach in 2008 will be donated directly to Autism Speaks.

Outside of a great marketing effort which included a shout-out on The Junkies on WJFK 106.7 (a very popular sports talk show), B2B welcomed almost 250 guests, raised almost $4500, and registered over fifteen riders for the 2008 ride! In addition, we had a number of event-goers express interest in the joining the 120-mile charity ride, and others volunteer to raise money for Autism Speaks. With each guest wearing their Bike to the Beach T-shirt, the enthusiasm for the ride and the cause was incredible. With our first corporate sponsor for this year already signed up, Coakley Williams Construction, we are well on our way to reaching our 2008 goals.
