Payden Memorial Foundation: Blazing Saddles Bicycle Ride

Blazing Saddles fundraising bicycle ride

I am already familiar with, or am a returning rider in, the Blazing Saddles event:
Take me directly to the ONLINE REGISTRATION TOOL. (NEW this year!)

I'd rather download and mail the paper 2008 REGISTRATION FORM and get my copy of the Pledge Form and Brochure.

If you can't ride, consider PLEDGING A RIDER, or making a general donation to the Payden Memorial Foundation.

BLAZING SADDLES VII IS SATURDAY, JULY 19, 2008. Join the Payden Memorial Foundation for this spectacular fundraising bicycle ride through the Bridger Mountains and the scenic Shields River Valley. Our ride starts and ends in Livingston, heading over Bozeman Pass and Jackson Creek Road. Blazing Saddles offers great opportunities for advanced, intermediate and beginning cyclists to train with passion for not only a great ride, but an important and meaningful cause. This ride is our major fundraising event, and each year more and more participants help raise money for our foundation. Fabulous prizes will be given to the top fundraisers on the ride. Friends and family are invited to cheer you on and to join us for a scrumptious picnic and Summerfest activities at Sacajawea Park following the ride.

We were delighted to have Team Delphine join the ride. We welcome team participation in our non-competitive cycling event. You'll find more pictures from Blazing Saddles VI in our Gallery.
