HORSE FARM HUNDRED
Sunday, October 25, 2009
Don’t miss this exciting ride with Team VetMed—12 years 1200 miles.
Team VetMed once again challenges its members to ride the Horse Farm Hundred, an exciting 100-mile bicycle ride through the beautiful Ocala horse farm country.
In 2008, more than 60 faculty, staff, students and alumni and friends had an awesome ride and raised over $27,000 for the college and student scholarships.
The century will start at 8:30 am at the Loften High School at 3000 E. University Ave. The Gainesville Police Department will lead out the Saturn pace vehicle, followed by hundreds of cyclists.
Alumni 55 Ride
A separate Team VetMed group will ride the RUSH 55, a 55-mile loop starting with the century pack at Loften High School, stopping in Flemington and returning to Gainesville. From the finish line, you can cheer on the Team VetMed century riders as they come in.
All riders must register with the Gainesville Cycling Club for the 100, 55, or 25 mile rides; registration forms can be found HERE.
Former CVM Dean Joe DiPietro seized upon this opportunity to make cycling a fund raising event. After the ride this year, the Horse Farm Hundred Scholarship will be renamed in honor of Dr. DiPietro. Through these past 10 years, the team has raised over $130,000 plus a $50,000 state matching gift. From those funds, 8 scholarships were awarded to DVM students. The plans are to increase the number of awards and the award amounts in coming years.
Team VetMed riders are asked to raise at least $100 in sponsorships to be eligible for a free custom-designed jersey (2008 jersey design Front and Back) and socks. Rider sponsorships forms are located HERE.
