My family and I participated in the tour this year and my husband and I participated in a tour in the past. We were so very pleased with the volunteer support, the rest stops and all the snacks and goodies. We appreciated the bike helmets from Children’s hospital. The tour took us past my home from when I was a child, so of course we had to make an extra stop there. Thanks again for promoting 2 things I love…biking and our city. Looking forward to the tour next year.
Thanks for the feedback glad you enjoyed it hope to see you again in 2016 for another great tour of another area our city its neighborhoods and what they have to offer while biking!!! Spread the word e are back again for 2016!!!
