The 2020 Ride of Love is moving to Saturday, August 29th, in conjunction with a Smile-A-Mile reunion event!
While we are saddened by the current health crisis and the affects it is having on our programming and communities, we are excited to have this new date to look forward to! The route and other details are currently being determined and we will communicate those as soon as possible. For now, here are the details we do know.
New Date - Saturday, August 29, 2020
Route - Start and End at Smile-A-Mile Place
End of Ride Celebration - You will be welcomed back by a huge group of SAM families, volunteers, board members and more!
Please be on the lookout for future emails and social media communication regarding updates.
For those who would still like to ride on April 25th there will be a training ride from Smile-A-Mile Place, however, this ride will not have any support. Please look for those details on Facebook.
THANK YOU for supporting Smile-A-Mile. We hope to see you on August 29th!
The Ride of Love is a very special cycling event that raises funds for Smile-A-Mile. Over the years, the Ride of Love has grown to be much more than a fundraising event. It’s a tradition and part of our programming. Cyclists stay together as a group throughout the entire ride, pedaling more than 150 miles to ride into On-Therapy Family Camp at Lake Martin to be greeted by cheering children and families. This is a life-changing ride that you’ll never forget!
*IMPORTANT RIDE UPDATE:
Given the current health mandates issued by the Governor of Alabama and various health agencies, the Smile-A-Mile team and the ride leads for Ride of Love 2020 have decided to cancel the 2020 Ride of Love previously scheduled for August 29th. This decision was made with the health and safety of the riders and support team as our primary concern. The Ride of Love is a unique group ride where required social distancing cannot be achieved in a safe manner for riders over the duration of 132 miles and 9 hours together.
We look forward to being able to hold the Ride of Love in 2021, with the start from Smile-A-Mile in Birmingham and finishing at the camp session on Lake Martin.
Registration fees and current funds raised will be automatically applied to the 2021 event. Emails reminders and updates regarding the 2021 event will be sent to current participants later this year.
We thank you for your friendship and committment to the children and families we serve.
