Tour de Hope 2024 – Stationary Bike Relay Race to Benefit Hope's Corner

It's a fun spin/cycling event where teams of 3 to 5 individuals compete to pedal the farthest on a stationary bike over 60 minutes. During this friendly competition, teams will cycle for a great local cause – Hope's Corner – and connect with others who recognize the vital services that Hope's Corner provides to underserved members of our community.

• For companies, the Tour de Hope is a great team-building exercise, especially for companies whose employees have been working mostly apart during COVID. And it's a way for companies to network with other local companies while demonstrating their commitment to our local community and the vulnerable folks that Hope's Corner serves.
• For individuals, the Tour de Hope is a fun opportunity to work up a sweat and join other fitness do-gooders in supporting folks in our community who are struggling to get by. We'll place you on a team with other fun folks. If you recruit friends and family members to sign up, we'll try to place you on the same team.

• The event will be held at the El Camino YMCA in Mountain View and will use their Keiser spin bikes. Unless conditions dictate otherwise, the event will be held outdoors.
• Each team will have 1 bike. Team members will jump on and off the bike as they wish during the 60 minutes.
• We'll have music, snacks, drinks, and an emcee who will encourage teams during the event.
• Participants will be entered in raffles for gift certificates to local restaurants and businesses.
• The winning team will get both bragging rights and the honor of having its name etched on the coveted Tour de Hope Cup – appropriately, a stainless steel measuring cup.

• Hope's Corner is located at the corner of Hope and Mercy Streets in downtown Mountain View, California.
• We provide about 700 hot, nutritious meals each week to hungry folks, including individuals who come onsite for meals, individuals and families living in RVs and vehicles at Mountain View Safe Parking Lot locations, and workers at the Day Worker Center of Mountain View.
• We will have provided over 200,000 meals since our inception in 2011
• Homeless guests take 40 – 50 showers each week using our 2 onsite, fixed handicap-accessible showers. To allow these guests to feel fully fresh, we offer them new undergarments and socks.
• We provide laundry services, refurbished bicycles for transportation, bicycle accessories (e.g., locks, lights, helmets), and clothing to homeless individuals.
• In partnership with other organizations, businesses, and groups, our guests can get free haircuts, flu shots, and medical checks at different times during the year.
• Hope's Corner is a place of belonging, where everyone is welcome and no one is turned away. We offer our guests hope for a better future.
