Save The Date: Bike MS - September 9th 2012 Over the past 7 years, Cardio Express has shared its commitment to the fight against multiple sclerosis by organizing a team of our staff, members, and friends to ride in the Connecticut MS Bike Tour. Together, we have raised almost $500,000 to date. As the title sponsor for the 2012 event, we are committed to raising more money and awareness than ever before. This year, the Cardio Express MS Bike Tour has an exciting new venue at the historic boathouse at Riverside Park in Hartford. The “Capital City Ride” rides out and back through most of the scenic sites in Downtown Hartford. The 25, 50, or 75 mile route options highlight the State Capital, Bushnell Park, and the Founders Bridge. Enjoy the flattest ride yet, great food, fun festivities, and give your support to a great cause. Watch for Team Cardio Express registration information coming soon.
