Spin Your Wheels to the ENDUE Bicycle Classic in San Mateo

May 28th, 2014

One of the best ways to see the Bay Area is on two wheels. And one of the best ways you can show your support for other members of the community is to sign up for the Endue Ride taking place on June 21.

This annual ride raises funds for awareness of developmental disabilities such as Down’s Syndrome, Autism, and other permanent afflictions. As rates of these conditions continue to rise, it’s important for our community to stand together to support research, cures, and treatments that can help improve the lives of those affected.

The Endue Ride does just that and there are several you can choose from. The rides range in length from 30 km to 100 km, so you can ride as long and far as you would like.

Each ride starts at 6 a.m. and finishes around 3:30 p.m. All you have to do is sign-up and select the ride that is right for you.

There are some great bicycle rides in San Mateo that are just a short distance from our luxury green apartments. Contact us and we will be happy to roll all the details your way.
