The Washington cycling community came together in support of Dr. Ed Farrar, the father of Garmin-Chipotle rider Tyler Farrar, who was critically injured last week. Tyler Farrar will lead the ride, to be held November 9, 2008 at the Wenatchee Center downtown at 9:30 AM.
Since Farrar was injured in a head-on collision with a car, there has been an outpouring of support from the community. Farrar worked to promote cycling as a sport and a healthy lifestyle, and as an orthopedic surgeon, he helped others recover from injury. His family has asked that, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the cycling club, Wenatchee Valley Velo, at: Wenatchee Valley Velo P.O. Box 1991 Wenatchee, WA 98807.
