Bo Bikes Bama
It’s that time of the year again and Auburn great Bo Jackson is back on his bike and ready to tour Alabama. The third annual “Bo Bikes Bama” is fast approaching and set to begin April 19.

Registration is available on bobikesbama.com, and participants can ride either 22 or 62 miles. The 22-mile ride is $40 for online registration and $60 on the day of the ride. The 62-mile trip is $60 online and $100 to register on the day of the event.

“You could say that I’m officially in training mode” Jackson said in a press release. “I’m eager to get on my bike in Auburn and excited to make some new friends on April 19 to raise money for a good cause.”

April 19 also marks the date for Auburn’s annual spring A-Day game, and Bo Bikes Bama will start on the Auburn University campus.

For those that register, riders and supporters can also create personal teams and team fundraiser pages to college donations for the event. Some of the incentives include a meet and greet with Jackson, where participants will be able to get autographs.

The five-day event was started on the first anniversary of the deadly storms that swept across the state April 27, 2011. All money has been raised through the Governor’s Emergency Relief Fund and there’s been more than $700,000 raised the last two years. The money has been used to rebuilds hundreds of homes and provide community shelters in Alabama.

“The support from riders and fans has been tremendous over the past two years,” Jackson said. “This new fundraising tool will enable all supporters to participate in Bo Bikes Bama, whether it’s from the seat of their bike or their living room.”
