Description
Tour d’Eau Claire is a spin-off of the Valley Cat race that has been an amazing biking event for the past few years. A few of us who competed in this race wanted to do something similar, but wanted to make it an event where anyone and everyone would have a reason to show up. Tour d’Eau Claire is the first-ever Biker Awareness Event in the Chippewa Valley. The Tour will still include the great messenger race that is much loved from the Valley Cat, but it will also have many other events, too, such as track standing, skid comps, a random trick contest, and a youth race. Oh, and there's going to be a great party afterwards, too!

Finance a Coffee Bike Micro-Loan
Finance a Coffee Bike Micro-Loan
Pay it Forward! Buy a bike for a Rwandan Farmer. Your $225 dollar investment will cover the subsidized cost of the micro-loan needed for a Rwandan coffee grower to buy a Coffee Bike. By owning a bike, a farmer can begin to build a better life. The bike will shorten the transportation time during harvesting and increase the farmer's income level. Fresher products equal higher market value for their crops.
As the coffee farmer makes payments on the bike over a period of two years, your investment is recycled, allowing another farmer the opportunity to finance a bike, and the cycle continues.
