| BIKE FOR TEAM BEAUSOLEIL ON SATURDAY APRIL 4 |
||||||||||||||||||||
| Bike for BeauSoleil is a fundraiser and family event to raise money and community support of the BeauSoleil Louisiana Solar Home at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. The concept of the races is for the public to go green, live healthy, maintain good fitness, bring their family and support Team BeauSoleil. The event will take place at the BeauSoleil Warehouse located at the United Way Complex, 215 E. Pinhook, on Saturday, April 4 at 9 a.m. to 1p.m., with pre-registration starting at 8a.m. Pre-race refreshments will be served. There is a 10-mile fun ride, and the options of 30 or 50-mile rides for experienced cyclists. All races will end back at the BeauSoleil Warehouse. Racers, their families and the public are welcome to visit the Warehouse beginning at 11 a.m. for a family-friendly, fun-filled time. A post-ride Cajun meal will be served at that time to the racers, Jr. Hebert and the Maurice Playboys will be playing and the warehouse will be open for people to view the progress of the BeauSoleil home (the shell has been completed.) There will also be a fun jump to entertain the younger crowd. Team BeauSoleil is the UL Lafayette team that was selected as one of only 20 teams from around the world to participate in the international design/build competition called the Solar Decathlon. The Solar Decathlon is a competition for teams of university students that compete to design, build, and operate an attractive, effective and energy-efficient solar powered house. In late September 2009, college and university teams from around the world will join the competition's organizers and sponsors in Washington D.C., to assemble a solar village on the National Mall.
