On November 3rd, 2004, Mike Rosco, a 20-year U.S. Navy veteran was killed tragically in a traffic accident near Thousand Oaks, California. Five years later, and in Mike's spirit, his older brother Jack Nosco, a firefighter and cyclist, decided to organize a small group ride of local cyclists to raise money for local families battling cancer.
Now each year, on November 3rd, the group begins with a stop at the place of Mike's accident in order for participants to pay respects, and then takes in three of Santa Monica Mountains' toughest and most infamous climbs for a total of over 8000 feet of climbing along an 80-plus-mile loop.
The 2012 edition of the Mike Rosco Memorial Cicycle Ride brought in approximately $40,000, which was distributed among four families in need of help with medical bills and other expenses. If you want to ride the 2013 Mike Rosco Memorial Cicycle Ride go to
