This is Roberta Gonzales, as an avid cyclist I've participated in countless cycling events and the Audi Best Buddies Challenge: Hearst Castle has to be one of the most spectacular events, let alone rides that I've even been a part of.

The event is a truly unique five-star ride that fosters friendship, teamwork and the inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities.

On Saturday, September 11, 2010, celebrities, athletes, individuals with intellectual disabilities, and people just like you, will take the challenge, and come together on bike and on foot to make a difference and change lives.

There are several ways you can participate:

Register to ride 100, 62, 35 or 15-miles down the majestic Pacific Coast Highway from Carmel to San Simeon.

Or register for a 3K walk or 5K run led by Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis in San Simeon.

Following your challenge, you'll pick up your event gift bag, relax with a professional massage and refuel at an all-you-can-eat gourmet barbecue while enjoying a private concert.

Join me Roberta Gonzales on Team KCBS / KPIX / CyclePath for the Audi Best Buddies Challenge: Hearst Castle. Enter the promo code "KCBS" when you register and save off the standard fundraising rate.

I hope you'll join me on the road to the Hearst Castle! And don't wait to register – this ride will sell out!
