Registration open for Bike to Hope ride

Registration for the Northern California Real Estate & Construction Council’s seventh annual Bike to Hope fund raiser is now open. The Oct. 19 event will start and end at Penngrove Park.

SB Architects and Hudson Pacific Properties sponsor the event, which benefits City of Hope, a nationally recognized research and treatment center for cancer, diabetes and other life-threatening diseases.

The ride is expected to attract more than 250 participants. Riders are encouraged to sign up online. Riders will be equipped with a personalized fundraising website; all registration and fundraising dollars go directly to City of Hope.

Bike to Hope will feature two course options to cater to seasoned and casual riders: a metric century and a half-metric century. Both routes will take the cyclists through the back roads of Sonoma County and will culminate with celebratory brews and barbecue at Penngrove Park.

Drew Gordon, senior vice president, Northern California, of Hudson Pacific Properties, said his company shares City of Hope’s dedication to be a leader in innovation.

In addition to SB Architects and Hudson Pacific, another top sponsor is Nibbi Brothers General Contractors. Several sponsorship levels are available and include branding, collateral and other visibility.
