Cycling for Sight (CFS) is an event that is both FOR and BY blind
cyclists. It is for - benefits the San Diego Center for the Blind and
the Blind Stokers Club. It is by - the CFS peloton of cyclists
includes tandem teams with blind/VI stokers, as well as supporting
cyclists of all varieties sharing the bike tour adventure.

Two special notes of introduction:
1. Blind/VI tandem teams are not required to raise the $1,800 per
tandem team ($900 per person) fee; instead are asked to actively
fundraise to their ability. No Blind/VI team will be turned away for
falling short of this fundraising goal.

2. For remote Blind/VI teams (outside southern Calif), California
Dreamin' travel assist sponsorships are available, for the purpose of
traveling to and from the CFS tour.
If you are interested, more "teaser" highlights follow, including
links and contacts for all the CFS information.
