Please join us for the Tour de Road America on Saturday, August 7, 2004 at 7:00 PM as we bicycle the beautiful Road America circuit in support of the Lance Armstrong Foundation and the millions of people whose lives are affected by cancer.

This exciting event is being held in conjunction with the Grand Prix of Road America featuring the Champ Car World Series in picturesque Elkhart Lake, WI. Join race car drivers Paul Tracy, Mario Dominguez, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Alex Tagliani, Mario Haberfeld, Tommy Kendall, teams, series personnel, (and their families and friends), plus cyclists and motorsports fans for a fun hour on the track. Our goal is to raise $25,000.

Two rider ability levels accommodate serious cyclists as well as recreational riders and families (children 8 and up are welcome to ride with their parents). To help reach our fundraising goal, the suggested minimum donation is $25 for ride participation. Road America has put together a $50 ticket package that includes your $25 donation to the LAF. You also get to watch a great day of racing on the track!. Bring the whole family as kids 12 and under receive free admission to Road America. It’s a great place to visit, and family camping is available on the track grounds. Visit www.roadamerica.com for tickets or www.tour-de-ra.org for Tour info.

There will also be a Lance Armstrong Foundation Peloton Project booth in the Competition Paddock, near the Four Mile Merchant. Please stop by and visit. We’ll be auctioning off great racing memorabilia, and you could even win a ride in the pace car!

See you at Road America! Live Strong : Wear Yellow!

Paul Tracy Joins Tour de Road America!​

ELKHART LAKE, WISC- The Tour de Road America benefiting the Lance Armstrong Foundation is excited to announce the addition of 2003 Champ Car World Series Champion, Paul Tracy.

“The Elkhart Lake ‘Tour de Road America’ will be a great event and I’m very happy to continue my support of the Lance Armstrong Foundation,” said Tracy, who is an avid cyclist and has twice donated his $25,000 Driver of the Year award to the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

“I have the greatest respect and admiration for Lance Armstrong. His sixth Tour de France victory is simply incredible – Lance’s commitment and dedication and personal achievement in his most physically demanding sport amongst such great competition is unparalleled; he simply an inspiration,” continued Tracy, “I’m very much looking forward to participating in the Tour de Road America.”

The Tour de Road America unites drivers from the Bridgestone Presents the Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford, the MotoRock Trans Am series, racing fans and hundreds of cycling enthusiasts who will all ride together to raise money for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. In the weeks following Lance’s unmatched 6th Tour de France victory, Champ Car drivers will join a large group of bicyclists who have made substantial donations to the LAF and together will ride one of America’s premier road course facilities, Road America.

The Tour de Road America is a fantastic opportunity for fans and cyclists to meet and ride with Paul Tracy, who is fresh off his dominating victory at the Molson Indy Vancouver, as they cycle around the four-mile race track of beautiful Road America.

Cyclists and racing fans can register for the Tour de Road America by visiting www.tour-de-ra.org and can purchase tickets to the Grand Prix of Road America at www.roadamerica.com. Road America will donate back to the Lance Armstrong Foundation for every Tour de Road America ticket package purchased!
