Cyclists say bike tour as rough as promised; long, rugged route helped raise funds for Red Cross
“Some of the money is going for tornado relief,” Cooper said. “We wanted our riders to see what the money was going toward.”
Sharp said the route added meaning to the ride.
“I’ve been on that road several times, and every time I go down it, the damage still gets to me,” Sharp said. “We heard riders from out of town, saying that this really was a tornado alley ride. It added meaning.”
About 60 volunteers helped stage the event, Cooper said. Riders paid $30 to $40 in registration fees.
Spriggs said though the ride was tough, he’d do it again.
“That ride was a class act,” Spriggs said. “The event sponsors went above and beyond, and I didn’t think they could top last year’s event. I’ll do this every year until I can’t anymore.”
