15th Annual Bike the Bend for Literacy

---

The Literacy Council of Fort Bend County would like to invite you to join them for the 15th Annual Bike the Bend for Literacy on November 23rd honoring community volunteers Trey Reichert and Robert Wolters. This popular event is the perfect opportunity to prepare for the BP MS 150, get some exercise, enjoy the scenery of Fort Bend County or just spend some quality time having fun with family, friends and neighbors.

Bike the Bend is a BP MS 150 Recommended Ride benefiting the Literacy Council of Fort Bend County and begins at 8 am, starting and finishing at Foster High School in Richmond. Along the scenic 20, 35 or 62 mile routes, riders will enjoy first-rate rest stops stocked with delicious fruit and snacks, as well as a variety of cold beverages to fuel the ride.

All proceeds will support the life-changing work of the Literacy Council of Fort Bend County, whose mission is to improve family, community and professional lives through adult literacy education.  Last year, the event raised over $37,000 for Literacy Council programs.

Early registration is open now at $30 per rider and will go up to $40 on Monday, November 3rd. Registration includes a rider t-shirt, snacks and refreshments before, during and after the ride. Riders can register online at http://bit.ly/bikethebend.
