Parker Memorial Park, St. Francisville, LA

About the Event:


Join us for the 4th annual CF Cycle for Life. Ride through the quaint, south Louisiana town of St. Francisville. Enjoy the scenic views of historic town accented with gorgeous live oaks, blossoming camellias, and antebellum plantation homes & gardens. You might even catch a glimpse of one of America's most haunted homes, The Myrtles! Cycle at your own pace on one of our three mileage options: 65 mile, 35 mile or our 15 mile fun ride. The CF Cycle for Life ride is a fully supported journey with well-stocked rest stops every 10-12 miles, support and gear (SAG) vehicles, ride marshals, breakfast, lunch and so much more. Then the post ride "Pedal Party" awaits you upon your return. The festivities are full of great food and fun to wind you down after your ride.

No matter which route you choose, you'll enjoy a fun day on your bike and enjoy some of the most scenic terrain in South Louisiana all while cycling for a great cause! So what are you waiting for? Sign up today and take the "Ride of Your Life"!

Participants under the age of 18 are not permitted to participate in the Aptalis CF Cycle For Life®. Bike helmets are required to ride.

B.CEPACIA AND INFECTION CONTROL POLICY
Because of risks to people with cystic fibrosis (CF), individuals who have ever had a confirmed positive sputum culture for Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia) complex shall not attend any Foundation events. These requirements are because CF germs can be passed between individuals who have CF. B. cepacia in a person with CF can cause serious respiratory illness and, in some patients, may lead to death. CF germs are not a risk for otherwise healthy individuals. At any outdoor event, people with CF should keep at least 6 feet away from others with CF.

Despite this policy, individuals with CF might choose to attend events without informing the CF Foundation or without the Foundation’s knowledge. If so, they do so at their own risk. The Foundation accepts no responsibility for any risk to health involved in attendance, or in any social contact between persons with CF. For more information, please visit www.cff.org.
