Memorial Ride
by president＠cvcbike.org 09 Oct '16

09 Oct '16

I would like to pass this information out to our club riders. The Mike Nosco ride is memorializing CVC Member Howard Levy, and benefiting his family.Howard Levy was a loving husband, father and a cycling enthusiast. He was an active member of the Conejo Valley cycling community as a racer and as an ambassador for the sport of cycling. He was a fun loving guy with a playful spirit and is widely respected in this community. Howard has ridden in nearly every Mike Nosco Memorial Bicycle Ride, including the 2015 ride shortly before he was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. Howard had a large tumor removed from his femur in his right thigh and had his femur reconstructed. Following surgery, he underwent chemotherapy and radiation. Unfortunately, Howard’s cancer metastasized to his lungs and he lost his battle with cancer in August 2016. Being named a recipient for the 8th annual Mike Nosco Memorial Bicycle Ride has given the Levy family and the cycling community an awesome opportunity to honor Howard and also honor the sport that he was passionate about. www.mikenosco.com Mike Nosco Memorial Bicycle Ride Recipients 2016 Over the past eight years, the Mike Nosco Memorial Bicycle Ride has become an increasingly successful community event that has grown significantly each year. There has been an overwhelming outpour of generosity from our community, making the ride very special to all that participate – as riders and as volunteers. As I work to preserve my brother’s memory through the Michael P. Nosco Foundation, Inc., my main goal is to provide financial relief to families and/or individuals in our community. The emotional support that comes with 700+ people showing up in their honor is incredible! Your support means a lot to them and goes a long way in providing inspiration and strength to our recipients and their families. My brother was a very caring and generous person, he would be incredibly proud of what this ride has become. Through the Michael P. Nosco Foundation, Inc. and your participation, I am hopeful that we not only show the recipients our support in our unity, but that we can help them all financially as well. Together, I am confident we can provide each one of these individuals and their families with a renewed perspective and energy as they deal with their respective illnesses on a daily basis. We can do this – the riders, the volunteers, the sponsors, and our business partners – together, we will make it happen! I am extremely grateful for our community’s generosity, dedication and support year after year. For those new to the ride, let it be known that it is a very tough 80-mile bicycle ride, but one that I believe pales in comparison to what our recipients endure each day. As we struggle to climb Deer Creek, Mulholland and Latigo Canyon, please keep them in your thoughts and I am sure those climbs will flatten out somewhat (at least in your mind). They won’t go away, but we can all conquer them, and as we re-unite back at the park, we can stand proud of our accomplishments and of the fact that we are all out there making a difference in the lives of others! With that being said, I encourage you to register for the ride and make an optional donation. If we all donate a minimum of $100, I am sure we can help these families out in ways they never could have imagined. Included in your donation is all the pain and suffering you would ever want in a ride, a free t-shirt, a free post-ride meal, the opportunity to bid on exclusive items donated especially to the ride, and other nice things to make for a life-altering experience. A memory of a lifetime! Registration for the Mike Nosco Memorial Bicycle Ride is open at www.mikenosco.com, here you will find updates and other information as it becomes available. This is truly a ride like no other; people from all over the world have participated in the ride, including many professional cyclists, Olympians and other professional athletes. www.mikenosco.com
