The 7th Annual Tour de Femme, a women-only bike race, takes place this Saturday in Cary to raise money for the Lance Armstrong Foundation and the local Angel Fund of Rex Hospital.

Cyclists will be riding either a 15-mile, 31.2-mile or 62.4-mile course, after which there will be a post-ride celebration for participants and the community to raise awareness and funding for Cancer Research and Cancer Survivorship programs.

A team from WRAL participates in Le Tour de Femme cycling race.

The race will start and finish at Cycling Spoken Here. Registration and packet pickup begins at 7:30 a.m., and the races start at 9 a.m. – grab some coffee and come cheer on the cyclists!

Registration is still open and is only $30 until Oct. 11 (after that date, registration is $35). If you haven't ridden a bike since you were 10 years old but would still like to participate, there are many jobs available for volunteers. You can also submit donations on their website.
