2nd Annual Ride With Dave Mirra Memorial Ride
Quote | Reply
It's gonna be Feb 4, the anniversary we lost him, and hope any who can join us in Greenville, NC will. Last year was totally impromptu with a couple weeks notification and we were thrilled to have over a hundred participate. This year we will grow this event with all proceeds going to More Than Sport - athletes going for more than just the win but also helping those in need whether it's for food, water, a roof over their head or whatever. Chris Lieto and Dave Mirra once talked about hosting an event to help those in need and Dave wanted to do it. Lauren, Dave's wife, wants to honor that.

If you can't make the event there will be ways to give to the cause on line. We will have cool shirts made and plan to make them available even if you can't come to Greenville. Below is a link to the Facebook home page (at OP it was just under development) where most details will be.

Here's a pic from last year, taken in front of Dave and Lauren's home (route will be different this year, with alternative distances):



I hope you can come and please spread the word!

Cheers,

If this doesn't get any wings after this post I get it, but I thought I'd share another way to donate if you can't participate in this event.........because it's Christmas and what better place to donate if you're a triathlete than Chris Lieto's foundation, More Than Sport.

Below is a link to Crowdrise where you can give if you feel called to.

Cheers and happy holidays!

I realize Greenville, NC isn't a hotbed for triathletes or on the bucket list for anybody's vacation plans, but we're really trying to make this a great event this year. Cervelo, Lava, and of course MORE Than Sport are joining in to help make this a fitting memorial to a guy that loved this sport.

If you can't come to the event you can order a commemorative shirt from MORE Than Sport here: https://www.morethansport.org/...hips-end-of-feb-2017



If you can come please do. It's gonna be an awesome day! After the ride there's another benefit in town to raise money for a statue of Dave at the local BMX park where he used to train. Lots of cool signed gear from action sports stars like Tony Hawk, Ryan Nyquist and others will be up for auction.



They have shirts for sale too:



At any rate, happy training for this season!

Cheers,

Thanks for bumping this up. Won't be able to make the ride, but still wanted to do something to help, so I snagged a shirt. I never knew Dave, but sure love the way he tackled everything head on. Hope the ride is excellent!

Classic image of Dave for the t shirt. Love it.
Best wishes for this event from the UK.

Dont complain about the results you did n't get from the training you did n't do.

Weather looks dry and mid-forties. I'll take it. Please remember there's a kid's ride option on the greenway to the new children's park at Town Common. If you wanna bring family, please do. Afterwards, food and beers at Greenville's worst kept local secret, Villa Verde Dominican food and the coolest people you could hope to wait on you!

Also there's a super cool evening auction with live music at Tie Breakers to raise money for a statue of Dave at the local BMX park. Cool stuff from Jamie Bestwick, Mia Hamm, Matt Hoffman, Ryan Nyquist, Daniel Dehrs, Tony Hawk, and lots more will be up for bid towards the cause.

Come make a day of it! It's gonna be awesome!

Cheers,
