RIDE CINCINNATI 2014 Information & Maps

For my team, here’s information (copied from the official site) about the race.

One of my friends is setting up an airbrush tattoo station where she will give free PINK RIBBON tattoos! Stop by and get your tattoo!

AFTER THE RACE

Instead of trying to connect before each of the staggered start times, let’s plan to find each other at the after-party location near the finish line. The after-party is from 9:00am until noon. We’ll have a CHEFS AGAINST CANCER sign, so look for that to find the group!
