Missouri Children's Hospital
Charity Event: MidMoBRR
Amount raised: $6500 (past BRR rides and Ironman Arizona)
Each year, thousands of children in the United States are diagnosed
with diabetes. At the Children’s Hospital at University Hospital and
Clinics, the pediatric diabetes team assists children throughout Missouri
and surrounding states who have been diagnosed with diabetes by teaching
them and their families how to successfully manage their disease.
The Pediatric Diabetes Program at Mizzou Children’s Hospital remains
one of the nationwide leaders in providing quality care to children with
diabetes. Its renowned reputation is founded upon decades of research
and landmark discoveries in the area of pediatric diabetes, led by Dr.
Robert L. Jackson and Dr. David Goldstein, who are both well-known leaders
in the field.
The education and care offered by the Pediatric Diabetes Program to
children and their families is an invaluable resource to those in Columbia
and across the country.

What kind of bike should I ride on the BRR Ride?
You can ride virtually any bike on the Katy Trail. We recommend a mountain,
hybrid, or cyclocross bike. We have personally ridden the entire trail
on road bikes, but you might not want to ride with expensive racing tires.
Just switch the tires out for the all-weather tires you'll be riding
with in the winter anyway.
Back to FAQ
What food will be served on the BRR Ride?
Pre-ride bagels and coffee will be provided by B & B Bagels of Columbia.
In Rocheport you will receive a delicious lunch catered by the Rocheport
General Store. If you prefer to "whet
your whistle" you might want to stop at one of the sponsors on the
Rocheport Scavenger Hunt. There will be a post-ride party at Mojos where
you will get appetizer-sized slices of Shakespeare's Pizza. To really
fill a BIG appetite, bring a little extra cash so you can explore Rocheport
and the District in Columbia.
Back to FAQ
How long will the ride take?
The total ride distance will be 34 miles, or 36 if you take the extra
side trip to Les Bourgeois A-Frame. Check-in/Registration is from
9:00 to 10:00 AM, so you can leave anytime after you are checked in.
After lunch and the scavenger hunt in Rocheport, come back as quickly
or slowly as you want. It is our hope that you will take your time
and make an enjoyable day out of exploring Rocheport, the Katy Trail,
and the Columbia District.
Back to FAQ

Back to FAQ
How do I register a team?
Contact Steve Taylor at 573.268.3269 to set up a team. Discounts are
available if the team registers together. We especially encourage teams
from other towns to organize for transportation and "team spirit." We
are especially looking for teams that have a bus, so if that is
your team, please contact us immediately.
Back to FAQ
What is the deal with the Costume Contest?
The BRR Ride takes place four days after Halloween, so wear your holiday
best! There have been some extremely creative costumes!
