The Texas 4000 kicks off this Saturday, June 5th.  This annual bike ride is the world's longest charity bike ride with the proceeds going to fund cancer research.  There will be 50 University of Texas students making the 70-day journey this year.  You can help send the riders off by biking with them for 25, 51, or 71 miles on the first leg of their trip - the ATLAS Ride.  For more information on this great cause, or to donate, visit the Texas 4000 website at www.Texas4000.org.
