Tour de Habitat 2012
Third Annual Stationary Bike Fundraiser
April 14, 2012 at 1:00 pm
This event is held at the Rochester Athletic Club
3100 19th St NW, Rochester MN.
What is the Tour de Habitat? 
The Tour de Habitat is an indoor cycling event. The physical goal of the event is for teams to keep a stationary bike spinning for 90 minutes. To helps with this goal, cycling instructors form the Rochester Athletic Club lead the cyclists on a ride set to music to keep the excitement up. Your team decides how long each member rides and up to six teammates can ride. The fundraising goal for the event is to raise $1,200 per bike to go towards making a family's dreams of homeownership come true.
Who Should Participate?
Adults and teens of all ages and cycling abilities can participate. If you are interested in riding the whole 90 minutes then you can sign up without a team. If you are new to cycling then grab five friends and have a team. With a team of six, each person need only ride 15 minutes. This might be a great way to start cycling! Teens will need to have a guardian agree with a consent form.
What do I do when I'm not biking?
This year we are going to have challenge stations available to test your physical and mental prowess while your teammates take their turn on the bike. Prizes will be awarded for the best performance at each challenge stations. If you know a business that would be interested in hosting a challenge station please have them contact us.
After the ride there will be a reception to thank all that participated, hand out awards and eat cake.
What's in it for me?
Besides the physical high of an exciting workout, and the mental high of raising money to help a family get a simple, decent, and affordable home, there are prizes awarded to teams that are the high fundraisers and best spirit on the day of the ride. In addition, individuals that obtain fundraising goals will be eligible for Habitat gear. Details are posted on the official Tour website.
How do I fundraise?
When you register on Active.com a fundraising website will automatically be created for your fundraising. You can e-mail the link to friends, family, colleagues, and post it on social media.
You can also fundraise the old fashioned way (checks and cash) and add them to your fundraising goal. The $25 registration fee per team member is also counted towards the team's fundraising goals. The team ride is limited to 6 riders, but you can have unlimited non-riders on your team. These participants can be involved in fundraising and are welcome to come to the event, cheer on the team, and enjoy the games and after ride reception.

What's the schedule for the day of the event?
Check in will begin at 12:30. Teams can meet up and get the excitement building. RAC cycling instructors will be available to show you how the bikes work and adjust the bikes for the first rider. The cycling will start at 1:00 and go for 90 minutes. Instructors will take cyclists thorough a warm-up, a cardio portion, and a cool down.
