race to benefit Autism Speaks starts October 4, 2008.

| What is it all about? | Endure 24 teams up with Autism Speaks to bring you an
endurance race that offers cyclists a challenge like
no other. Spin, grind or mash your way around a 10
mile closed loop course for 24 hours. Amass the most
miles and win great prizes as well as the satisfaction
of besting some of the best and most determined
cyclists around. Not "in-it-to-win- it"? Come out and see just how far you can ride and support the cause. You'll feel good about doing good. Not sure how to train? Want to join a team? Don't worry, we'll have training resources available and training rides on the actual course. Post on our sports board to meet potential teammates. All coming soon.
