FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Baja
Officials Stand United with Baja Love Ride
San Felipe, Baja
California, March 17 - The Baja Love Ride is a 4-day “ride for
cause” fund raising bicycling event that will stretch from Rosarito
Beach to San Felipe and will also include admission to the 5th Annual
San Felipe Blues & Arts Fiesta. The event is designed to showcase
the best of Baja, illustrate public safety and simultaneously promote
tourism. This event promises to not only bring the Baja communities
together, but also benefit those facets of Baja society that need help
the most, the children of Baja.
Baja California
Secretary of Tourism, Juan Tintos Funcke and the state have all fully
supported the idea of the event from its conception. This week,
officials with the Baja California Secretary of Tourism office have
committed themselves further to the success of the Baja Love Ride, by
approving the participation of high ranking state tourism delegates. In
addition to escorts by the Mexican Federal Police, Red Cross and Green
Angels, state officials Hector Higuera Aguilar, Tourist Assistance
Chief, State Secretariat of Tourism and Arturo Martinez Deputy Director
of Visitor Assistance and Facilitation, State Secretariat of Tourism of
Baja California and other delegates of the state will be joining the
riders of the Baja Love Ride for the full 4 days to share in this unique
and unforgettable Baja experience.
The ride will
begin on Tuesday March 22, at 10AM in front of the Rosarito Beach Hotel
and will finish Friday March 25, at 3PM at the Arches of San Felipe. All
riders will receive complimentary tickets to the Blues and Arts Fiesta
on Saturday March 26, another charitable event to help the children of
Baja that also draws a huge crowd each year.
The promoters of
this event want to encourage everyone that loves Baja, whether you own a
bicycle or not, to be a part of this event in one way or another. You
are encouraged to ride, volunteer or donate. Proceeds raised in each
community will remain in each community to support the local children's
organizations that desperately need continuous help. This is the time to
stand up and be counted. Baja and its residents have been taking a hit
from US media, which has led to an undeserved reputation of Baja being
unsafe for tourist, an industry Baja relies heavily upon. Now is the
time to help dispel reports that lead people to believe Baja is anything
but safe, secure and a wonderful place to visit and live. Alongside the
event promoters and the Baja California Secretary of Tourism, we all
need to stand together and show the world that Baja is a welcoming
destination overflowing with people that care about their communities,
their children and their country.
Taking part in
the Baja Love Ride is bound to be a memorable experience for those
looking to be involved in improving the lives of children and also
looking to take in the beauty, serenity, hospitality and luxury Baja has
to offer every step of the way. Helping others and pampering your
senses at the same time is what the Baja Love Ride can give to riders,
spectators and volunteers all along the route. Please join us.
