Tour de Cure
Yesterday, I had a lot of fun at the Tour de Cure. I had the opportunity to send off the riders with a "Go Red Rider" cheer at the opening ceremony for the 10 and 20 mile rides. Then, I was on my way for the 10 mile ride. The scenery was beautiful as I biked along the Fox River. But, at some parts I had to avoid some angry geese. Crossing the finish line was my favorite part of Tour de Cure. The spectators were cheering and I saw my parents were among them. This event raised over $600,000! I am very thankful for the support. Another exciting moment from yesterday was being reunited with one of my favorite Camp Discovery campers. If you have never participated in the Tour de Cure, I encourage you to sign up for it next year.
