Cycling Events Need Your Support!

These events need our support!


The Cache Chamber of Commerce has recently been contacted by several Cycling groups looking for support in our area. Each of these groups has an amazing charity they are working with, and need some local businesses and organizations to work with! In some cases, these events have never been through Logan, and are looking to establish new relationships. Please, take a moment and review the events below. Contact The Cache Chamber of Commerce, or the Event Manager for more information on participation.


Texas 4000 for Cancer
Texas 4000 for Cancer was founded in 2004 by Chris Condit, who is a survivor of Hodgkin's lymphoma, as a way to raise money for cancer research and other cancer survivorship programs while spreading hope, knowledge and charity across the continent. Each year since then, a group of college students from the University of Texas trains together and cycles from Austin, TX to Anchorage, AK, a nearly4,500 mile journey taking place over the span of 70 days. Throughout this journey, the team stops in communities across the continent to share stories and present programs and to present grants to various cancer-fighting organizations, among other things. If you'd like to learn more about Texas 4000 for Cancer, please visit www.texas4000.org. There, you can find information about the organizations we benefit, more about the history of Texas 4000, and the reasons we commit to ride. 

We are staying in Logan on June 27th and that we are looking for organizations or individuals who would be interested in hosting the team (which is made of roughly 25 cyclists) for a night or providing any food donations. In the past, we have stayed in churches, rec centers, as well as households as we make our journey.

The U5 Challenge
presented by Spin Utah

The U5 beckons to zealous cycling enthusiasts from all over the state and country. If you've ever wanted to ride something as monumental as a multi-stage cycling event, now's your chance. The U5 Challenge is a fully-supported Gran Fondo that takes cyclists from Logan to St. George, Utah. Weaving along the Wasatch range, riders tackle some of the most picturesque and challenging landscapes the state has to offer.

All proceeds from The U5 Challenge go toward benefiting the children, teens, and young adults served by The Christmas Box International (CBI). CBI is a Utah Charity organization that helps children and adolescents who are victims of abuse, neglect, or abandonment. We at Spin Utah hold the cause of CBI in the highest regard. Our hearts go out to the precious little souls they help, and we can't imagine being involved in any better cause.


4K for Cancer
2016 BALTIMORE TO SAN FRANCISCO
2016 marks our 15th year of cycling from Baltimore to San Francisco. The route was our first trip in 2002 and we have been cycling some of the same back roads since. The route is a 70 day, 4000 plus mile cross country trek starting at Baltimore's Inner Harbor and finishing with a ride across the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Riders will head southwest through Virginia crossing the Appalachians into southern Tennessee. The ride continues northwest to St Louis, MO before heading northwest through Nebraska before landing in Boulder, CO. The ride then continues up and over the Rockies to Utah, across Nevada, Idaho, Oregon, and eventually over the Iconic Golden Gate Bridge into San Francisco.

The 4K for Cancer is a program of the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults.
The Ulman Cancer Fund is a non-profit  organization that changes lives by creating a community of support for young adults, and their loved ones, impacted by  cancer.
