MARCH 20, 2015 THE FRIDAY FLYER A-3
Tour de Canyon Lake and 5K Run is tomorrow
Calling all bicycling enthusiasts young and old, fast or slow. The 5th an- nual Tour de Canyon Lake will be held tomorrow, Saturday, March 21, hosted by the Fitness and Triathlon Club. In ex- change for a donation of pet food, pet supplies or a financial contribution, the first 50 participants to show up receive an event T-shirt.
These supplies are given to Animal
Friends of the Valleys, which requests that food donations be IAMS or Pedi- gree. A limited supply of T-shirts are available for $10 each.
This year the club is adding a 5K Run prior to the bike ride. The 5K Run will begin at 8 a.m.; the bike ride will begin at 9. Both events are free of charge and start at the Lodge parking lot. Preregis- tration is not necessary. Just show up!
Organizers say the full route for the bike ride is about 15 miles and takes about an hour to complete. The approxi- mate route will be inside the gates as fol- lows: Lodge to the Main Gate to the end of Continental; Continental to the East Gate; East Gate to the Campground; Campground to the Lodge. Those who have young children or who don’t want to ride that far are welcome to take a
shorter route.
This is not a race; it is an informal
ride for all who can ride that distance at any pace. All traffic laws must be obeyed, and helmets are highly recom- mended for all, but required for all cy- clists under 18 years of age.

Teryx Girls Sara Price, Erica Sacks set to race
The 25th annual Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles across the harsh Morocco des- ert is about to begin, and Canyon Lakers Sara Price and Erica Sacks are ready for it. Taking place from March 25 through April 4, this all-female race won’t re- ward speed; rather it will test the each team’s skill at navigating the shortest distance from point to point without the aid of GPS. Fans can follow Sara and Erica’s progress on the Rallye’s official website at www.RallyeAichaDesGa- zelles.com. Each night, the Teryx Girls will have access to a designated team e- mail where they can interact with their fans. When visiting the website, click on the link, 2015 Edition, then 2015 Teams. The Teryx Girls are listed under Quad- bike/Motorbike/SSV no. 23.
The race is a nine-day, 1,300 kilo- meter trek (more than 800 miles) across the Sahara Desert. As co-pilots for Team Kawasaki IMG Motorsports, they are the first-ever U.S. team to compete in the Motorbike/SSV class. Pilot Sara Price will take the wheel of the Team Kawasaki IMG Motorsports Teryx with teammate Erica Sacks as navigator.
Sara says, “We’re feeling very confi- dent going into the rally, with the com- bination of our training with the USA Gazelles and the capabilities of our Ka- wasaki Teryx. In our training we pushed our Teryx to its boundaries and it came out ready to keep going.”
Sara made history in 2010 as the first-ever female factory Kawasaki- supported racer in motocross. She also
achieved over 16 Amateur Champi- onships on a Kawasaki during her amateur racing career, as well
as medaling in X-Games.
Erica has more than 15 years of off-road racing experience. She has been
all over the Baja Pen- insula and has raced
the longest race in the U.S., giving her the knowledge nec- essary to com-
pete in this long race. She took 2nd place in UTV at the 2014 Lake Elsinore Grand Prix.
