Lancaster, PA (PRWEB) January 25, 2012

The Franklin and Marshall College Elite Cycling team is hosting its first 24 hour indoor Cycle-A-Thon this weekend to raise money for “Racing to Register” (http://www.racingtoregister.org) — the Pennsylvania non-profit founded to inspire people to join the Be The Match Registry (formerly National Bone Marrow Donor Registry.)

The students will begin cycling this Friday, January 27th at 4:00 p.m. and continue through Saturday, January 28th at 4:00 p.m. in the Steinman College Center. Members of the cycling team are raising money through pledges and will take turns riding their racing bikes on indoor stationary trainers as a continual relay for 24 hours.

Racing to Register was founded in 2011 by F&M alum Tom Kramer. Tom’s wife Pam was diagnosed in 2009 with a rare form of Leukemia and needs a bone marrow donor. Using endurance sports as a platform, Tom (F&M Class of 1989) undertook the mission of completing a marathon, two half Ironman triathlons and one full Ironman race in one year to inspire others to join the Registry. Today, RTR is a Pennsylvania non-profit corporation which has registered over 1,300 people and has facilitated two potential patient matches for patients.

“The cycling team has a long standing relationship with Racing to Register and its founder Tom Kramer,” notes F&M Team President Robert Burnett. “Tom is an active triathlete, cyclist and supporter of our team. He has educated all of us on the importance of joint the registry, and giving back to the community. We are thrilled to be holding this cycle-a-thon which will become an annual event.”

Tom Kramer, founder of Racing to Register adds “we are thrilled that the F&M team has decided to support us in this way. Young people age 18-25 joining the registry is a critical base of potential donors, so this is a very important demographic for us to reach. We encourage everyone to come out support the cycling team and, most importantly, join the Be The Match Registry.”

Currently there are only 10,000 people on the national registry; RTR has registered approximately 2,000 people since 2009.

About Racing to Register

Racing to Register inspires people to join the national bone marrow registry, using endurance sports as a platform. RTR also operates two programs, TEAM RTR which allows anyone to participate in select endurance events including marathons and triathlon, while raising funds and awareness as well as RTR Cares which was formed in partnership with the Ronald McDonald House in order to grant wishes to families or children being treated for blood cancer diseases and preparing or recovering from marrow or cord blood transplants.

About the Franklin and Marshall College Cycling Team

In 2008, the team was born and consisted of a small roster enthusiastic about bike racing. They had a successful two seasons, and were growing to be a strong group. Last year, the team was acknowledged as a small but extremely powerful team that “should be watched” as a potential top team in the Eastern Collegiate Cycling Conference. At one point, they were crawling up as a top 5 team, “a goal”, said by many on the team, “that surpassed their expectations.” The F&M Cycling Team finished 9th out of the 53 or so teams in the ECCC. Currently they are training for their upcoming season with a roster that has nearly doubled in size. “We’re ready,” says Ryan McKenna, a teammate entering his second season with the team. “We’re a threat now to any top 5 team and that’s something we’re going to take seriously this season.”

World’s best announced for the UCI Track Cycling World Cup presented by Samsung

(PRWEB) January 31, 2012

Olympic Gold medallists Sir Chris Hoy and Victoria Pendleton will head up a world class field for the UCI Track Cycling World Cup presented by Samsung, taking place from 16-19 February 2012 at the Velodrome in the Olympic Park which doubles up as a London 2012 test event.

Today the London 2012 Organising Committee (LOCOG) revealed the full line up which will include five Olympic Champions and 16 World Champions including current Sprint World Champions Jason Kenny (Great Britain) and Anna Meares (Australia) and Robert Forstemann (Germany) who is currently ranked World Cup number one in Sprint and Team Sprint.

With riders eager to compete in the London 2012 venue, the event has attracted the world’s best track cyclists, as many nations compete for Olympic qualification. Over 23,000 spectators will enjoy the elite action as athletes ride competitively for the first time in the Velodrome.

340 riders from 48 nations and 18 trade teams will compete in the four day competition. Highlights include finals of the Men’s and Women’s Team Sprint on Friday, the ever exciting Team Pursuit and the tactical Keirin races.

LOCOG Director of Sport Debbie Jevans said of the event: “The standard of riders we have attracted is phenomenal with most of the world’s best riders participating. The athletes will be competing for the first time in the Olympic venue in front of thousands of fans so we are looking forward to an exceptional event. As well as it being a vital competition for the athletes, it is key for LOCOG in terms of our testing to ensure that we are ready at Games time. We will be testing the overall venue operations, the track, the timing and results and our workforce.”

Tickets for the event sold out within minutes when they went on sale last November. LOCOG is making every effort to offer additional tickets to the event, and, if extra tickets can be made available, more information on this will be issued in the next few days on the UCI Track Cycling World Cup presented by Samsung website

The iconic 6,000 seat Velodrome will host Olympic and Paralympic indoor track cycling events on the 250 metre track during the Games. After the Games the Velodrome will form part of a facility which will include a BMX Track, one-mile long road cycle circuit, 6km of off-road mountain bike tracks and storage for over 300 bikes.

The UCI Track Cycling World Cup presented by Samsung is supported by UK Sport’s World Class Events Programme. The schedule and full lists of teams and riders can be viewed on the UCI Track Cycling World Cup presented by Samsung rider list.

Wine from Montrose, Colo.’s Mountain View Winery makes a great holiday gift idea.

Montrose, Colo. (PRWEB) November 17, 2011

The Montrose Association of Commerce and Tourism has a suggestion this holiday season. Skip the mall and head to the Internet for a wealth of one-of-a-kind gifts produced in the Montrose area that are sure to please even the hardest-to-buy-for recipient on the shopping list.

According to Montrose Association of Commerce and Tourism’s Interim Executive Director, Jenni Sopsic, specialty items, like those made in Montrose, make outstanding gifts.

“Many of our local businesses sell handmade, local and often organic items,” says Sopsic. “Whether you are looking for a gift for the kitchen connoisseur, a green-thumb gardener, the spa-goer or the foodie in your family, Montrose merchants have something to suit every taste,” Sopsic adds. “Many of these businesses are family-owned-and-operated, and most have unique stories that add to the exceptional nature of a gift from Montrose.”

Here is just a sampling of gifts available for purchase from Montrose-area businesses, either in person or online.

Dayspring Farm (heritage meats, specialty food products, aromatics)

The owners of Dayspring Farm, located in neighboring Olathe, have been in the livestock business for more than 30 years. The farm utilizes natural and non-certified organic means to produce healthy animals. From grass-fed beef to pigs raised on cracked corn soaked in milk and plenty of room to roam, to free-range chickens and eggs, Dayspring Farm offers a number of farm-raised gift ideas. In addition the farm sells lavender bundles and essential oils. Call 970-323-0204 to purchase.

Hartman Gardens (preserves, syrups, dry mixes, gift packs)

Mountain View Winery

This fourth-generation orchard and vineyard has been producing wine and fresh fruits for more than 45 years. As a small, locally owned and family winery, Mountain View takes great care in the process, from growing, tending, pruning and taking care of the grapes to selecting and engaging in the meticulous process of hand-making the wines. Varietals include more traditional wines such as cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay, as well as unique wines such as cherry, apple raspberry and wild plum. You can even create your own label (or have the winery do it for you) for a very special touch.

About Montrose
