1.  Register for the Bergen Bike Tour
 

2. Write a letter
Reach your largest audience by drafting a simple "dear family and friends" letter from the heart, explaining why you are participating in the Bergen Bike Tour. All proceeds help two worthy and respected organizations: Tomorrows Children's Fund assists children and families affected by cancer and serious blood diseases; the Volunteer Center strengthens our community by mobilizing volunteers to meet community needs.
(See sample letter!)
 

3. Copy the letter
Use "mail merge" to personally address each letter, or make photocopies (they are fine, too). Sign each letter and write a personal note, such as, "I hope that you'll join me in supporting this important event." If possible, include a self-addressed envelope for their reply.
 
4. Mail the letter (this is very important!) 
Mail or E-mail to:
--family and extended family
--friends (your holiday card list)
--business associates and vendors
--members of your religious organization
--clubs, organizations and classes where your
   family are involved
