Great ride, great cause. The Tour de Springs is an annual bicycle ride held by the Ruby C. Hunt YMCA that is scheduled this year for Saturday, Sept. 20, at 8:30 a.m. Its purpose is to raise awareness and funds for community causes like LIVESTRONG at the YMCA, a cancer-survivor program.
It features 30- and 60-mile scenic road routes with rolling hills, and new this year is a multi-mile family ride on the gravel-surfaced Fit Trail so that anyone can support the cause. A mechanic will be on site and doing SAG the day of the event.
All participants receive the swag bag and Dri-Fit T-shirt. Overnight guests are asked to stay at our sponsoring hotel, AmericInn, in Boiling Springs, North Carolina. Please attend the event kickoff at 8 a.m. for essential ride info and to learn more about the great cause you are supporting.
