EVENT FLYER - Please refer to "2014 Flyer"

Hi All!

It's almost time to bust out those bikes and toys and head to Moir Park in Bloomington for the 2014 Cross for Tots!

So, to make sure you make it to your race on time, I wanted to point out that the tab "2014 Flyer" is the correct, current flyer.  We are having technical difficulties and the "Flyer" tab for last year's event is malfunctioning and won't go away.  Grrrr...

Here's an extra copy of the flyer!  Until then, have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday.  Eat lots, laugh more, and load up on calories for Saturday.  And while you're at it, ya might want to recruit Cousin Eddie to be the anchor for your team in the TEAM RELAY at 2:15!!!  Winning team gets a $25 Penn Cycle gift card for each rider!!!!

Party on!

"Pat Saves Cross for Tots" 2014!!!

The 2014 edition is back and even bigger and better than ever!  Due to a change in venue and needing some extra muscle to make it happen this year, we've partnered with Pat and his team at Penn Cycle and Fitness to make all these holiday dreams come true!

What else is new?

Venue:  Moir Park in Bloomington, MN.  (104th Avenue S. and Morgan Avenue South.)
Races:  Kids Race, Beginner Men/Women (30 min) at 10:30, Intermediate Men/Women (45 min) at 11:30, Advanced Men/Women (60 min) at 12:45, and the grand finale, TEAM RELAY.. 4 riders per team, one lap each, to the victor go the spoils (2:15pm).
Entry Fee:  $10+ a new, unwrapped toy for TOYS FOR TOTS!!!  Registration is on-site on race day.
What do I ride?  It's a cyclocross race, so a cyclocross bike is default.  But if you're new, don't have one, whatever.. bring a mountain bike (fat bike?).  It's gonna be an awesome course for riders of all levels.  We don't care what you ride.. we just want to see your smiling faces out ridin'!

Cross for Tots is the perfect even for beginners, too!  No license required, it's close to home, and the warmest environment around!  This one's for everybody, so bring your family, invite your neighbors, even just come out an watch.  :)

Check the flyer below for all the details!!  Or follow us on Facebook by clicking HERE.  You can find more info or donate early at any of the 7 Penn Cycle and Fitness locations or at Hollywood Cycles in Minneapolis.


Last year we raised over $1000 and collected more than 175 toys for the Twin Cities Toys for Tots.  This year, lets DOUBLE IT!  There are families in your community that need a little help making the holidays brighter... and you can do that while having a fabulously fun ride!!!


Want to see how much fun last year was?  Check out the awesome collections of photos & videos below.
