The Dempsey Challenge is taking place this weekend and DeLorme is proud to be the official GPS Mapping sponsor! We’re very excited to be part of the event again this year and are hoping to bring a little of the excitement to all of our blog and twitter followers by letting them watch some of the ride from where ever they might be around the country. We’ll be tracking various riders including Patrick Dempsey, top fundraisers, team captains, and professional riders as they travel the course tomorrow.

You can check out the SPOT Shared Page now to see messages sent from today’s private ride for sponsors and special guests. Look to see the site update in real time as riders head out onto tomorrow’s 10, 25, 50, and 100 mile bike routes.

If you’re attending the event stop by the DeLorme booth in the vendor area to get ride updates! If you’re out on the course watch for the yellow Team DeLorme jerseys to get stats on how far we’ve gone and how far is left before the finish line!

Most importantly though, congratulations to all the walkers, runners, and riders who have worked so hard to make this a successful fundraiser for the Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope and Healing. It’s a wonderful cause and an amazing fundraising event. We’re looking forward to seeing you all out there tomorrow… watch for us on the SPOT page if you can’t make it to the event!
