SUMMARY:Courage Ride
DESCRIPTION:Courage Ride is a charity bike ride whose sole purpose is to generate seed grant funding for sarcoma cancer research at the University of Iowa Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center. Inspired by the courage of Seth Bailey\, Courage Ride is dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by sarcoma cancer. \nThe 21th annual Courage Ride will be held Saturday\, August 9th at Big Grove Brewery and Taproom in Iowa City. A virtual ride option is also available. \nCourage Ride honors the life of Seth Bailey\, a courageous young man who died at age 25 from sarcoma cancer in 2003. His parents\, Jackie and Tom Bailey partnered with Bicyclists of Iowa City (BIC) in 2005 to create a ride that all levels of bicyclists can enjoy. \nCourage Ride offers multiple routes options for riders through the scenic Amish countryside near Hills and Kalona and out as far as North English and Millersburg\, Iowa. \nCourage Ride organizers anticipate up to 500 bicyclists to register for the event. Beginning at 6:30 a.m.\, bicyclists will travel on 5 different routes choices from Big Grove that include lengths of 18.5\, 37 (Seth Bailey Courage Loop)\, 57\, 85 or 105 (The Tom Bailey Century) miles. \nBicyclists can also participate in a silent auction featuring items from a variety of area businesses\, organizations\, and craftsmen. \nProceeds Support Sarcoma Cancer Research \nAll proceeds from Courage Ride go to the University of Iowa Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center Sarcoma Research Program. Over the past 20 years\, Courage Ride has raised over $935\,000 for sarcoma cancer research. \nTo date\, Courage Ride proceeds have seeded numerous sarcoma cancer research grants. Many of those grants have evolved into promising\, larger scale research studies. This newfound momentum in the Sarcoma Research Program has created a lot of enthusiasm among researchers\, investigators\, doctors\, and cancer care providers at the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center. The results are leading to new advancements\, new partnerships and attracting some of the best research talent in the nation. Patient lives are improved as a result of these research studies and the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center is gaining worldwide recognition for its expertise in advancing sarcoma research. \nCourage Ride’s mission is more crucial than ever considering that funding for cancer research has been shrinking over the past 20 years\, according to the American Association for Cancer Research. Yet cancer remains one of the nation’s costliest diseases. The American Cancer Society’s 2025 estimates for soft tissue sarcomas in the United States (these statistics include both adults and children) project that 13\,520 new soft tissue sarcomas will be diagnosed (7\,600 cases in males and 5\,920 cases in females) and 5\,420 Americans (2\,960 males and 2\,450 females) are expected to die of soft tissue sarcomas. Over 100 adults and children in Iowa are diagnosed with sarcoma each year. Sarcoma receives one to two percent of all cancer research funding. \nDiscount For Early Registration \nRegistration opens in early April. Early adult registration is $75 (through Friday\, August 1). Beginning August 2\, adult registration is $85. On-site registration Friday\, August 8 and 9 is $90. Youth registration (13-17) is $15. Registration includes breakfast and lunch; entertaining rest stops and SAG support. Live music will be held throughout the afternoon. \nVisit www.CourageRide.org for more information about the event including registration\, route maps\, parking\, or to make a donation. \nABOUT THE RIDE \n\nStart/finish location: Big Grove Brewery and Taproom in Iowa City\nOver 500 riders are expected to register\n5 paved routes\, ranging from 18 miles to a century ride (18\, 37\, 57\, 85\, 105 miles)\nRegistration at Big Grove opens at 6 a.m.\nIncludes breakfast and lunch\nRest stops with food\, drinks\, and live music\nCyclists receive detailed maps\, SAG support and bike mechanics\nCourage Ride jerseys available to order\nA silent auction at Big Grove featuring items from area businesses\, organizations\, and craftsmen\n\nVisit CourageRide.org for route maps\, registration information or to make a donation. \nAlso follow us on Facebook\, Instagram\, and Twitter! \nJoin us for this fun event and help us “Fight Sarcoma Cancer.

Amongst fast-draws and wild rides\, battles with posses and a torrid love affair\, a train robbery goes wrong and the duo finds themselves on the run.
