Why the Limaland Tour with Team Roadrunners?: This is our annual tour hosted by us, Team Roadrunners Bicycle Club. We use this tour to meet up with other cyclists, promote our communities and provide a small fund raising effort for our club. The funds raised are used for club bicycle initiatives in our community such as organizing rides, promoting cycling participation and awareness, growing a safer riding community and being a resource and organization for all cyclists in our area. We are all volunteers, cyclists and love riding our bikes.
For 2019, a charitable donation will be made to local bike charity mission: The Wheelhouse. They refurbish and supply bicycles for youth and individuals in need of a bike and transportation. They also offer bike repair, helmets and assistance for those in need. Past tour proceed recipients have included the Veterans Food Pantry and Lafayette-Jackson Historic Society.
Fine Print: Sorry, no rain date or refunds. We will reserve the right to alter the event if lightning or other safety concerns develop. Youth riders under 18 y/o must be accompanied by an adult. Family = head of house+spouse+under 18 y/o dependent(s) for “family” pricing on the short route only. Helmets are required! We do our best to provide a safe, fun and friendly ride.
