From the facebook event page:

Calling All Cyclists! Bike To China is happy to announce the Spring Dash Albany Alley Cat event. The event will take place on Saturday, April 9th at the Albany Corning Preserve’s Amphitheater. Registration will begin at 9am and the event will kick off at 10am sharp. $5 entry fee. Don’t be late! All proceeds will go to charity. There will be good incentives for larger donations that are listed below and tax deductable. Helmets will be required and funny costumes permitted. Also, to steer away from competition there will be one awesome DFL prize.

$5 Donation
ENTRY + SPOKE CARD

$10 Donation
ENTRY + SPOKE CARD + BIKE SHWAG

$20+ Donation
ENTRY + SPOKE CARD + BIKE SHWAG + 1/2 OFF FULL SERVICE @BROADWAY BICYCLE Co.

Although I have to express my absolute disdain for “required donations”, it’s for a good cause, and I’m pumped to get out on the bike. It does support a good cause and you get to see who’s been riding the most this winter!
