Cycling can a lso play a key role in regaining health \n after an injury. On her blog y ou'll find stories\\, photos\\, and experiences \n that will educate and inspire. The ride begins April 14 in Santa Monica CA\\, \n and ends 17 da ys later in Amarillo TX. Training rides have already started\\, \n so che ck out the link below! Elaine is looking for folks to get involved by \n joining her on training rides\\, accompanying her on the way to Santa Moni ca\\, \n learning more\\, or donating. However you want to get involved w ould make her \n day. *Head to her blog\:* \n \n http\://route66ajourney .blogspot.com [1] \n \n As Elaine\\, an SVBC member\\, points out\: \n \n * * The ride is not just symbolic\\; it is also cognitive rehabilitati on for a \n brain injury. New studies show that strenuous exercise helps brain injury \n patients recover\\, by increasing blood flow to the brain and by stimulating \n brain stem cells to regenerate. \n * * It is not primarily a charity ride - PAC Tour Route 66 is interesting in \n its own right. \n * * Many traumatic brain injury patients also have post-trauma tic stress \n disorder (PTSD)\\, and cycling is the only aerobic exercise that seems to \n help PTSD symptoms. Several cycling programs for vetera ns address this. \n \n Saturday\\, April 14 - 8\:00AMLocation\:  \n \n Santa Monica \n CA \n United States \n \n \n See map\: Google Maps [2 ]\\, Yahoo!

They are also in need of essential day of event volunteers\\, \n especial ly those familiar with bike events and repair. A full listing of \n volun teer opportunities is available on the website\\, the most critical one \n that needs to be filled is four vehicles and drivers that are familiar with \n bike events. See full description below. \n \n *Road Crew – Four Vehicles and Drivers Needed!* \n 5\:45 a.m. – 12\:00 p.m. \n The support vehicles are vital to the safety and success of our ride.

Drivers need to be \n helpful\\, patient\\, able to follow maps\\, and comfortable stopping s afely along \n the roadside. Drivers may transport riders and their bicyc le to a rest stop. \n Ability to change bike flat tires is a bonus. Drive rs may have a ham radio \n operator riding along with them\\, and will al so need to be able to carry an \n additional passenger. Drivers will use their own vehicles\\, which could be a \n van\\, pick-up\\, SUV or car wi th a bike rack. \n \n Funds raised through this event help to direct prom ising research\\, support \n families who are currently coping with the e ffects of a brain tumor \n diagnosis\\, and advocate for change.
