2007 Maple Leaf Bike Ride

Well, the 2007 ride was a HUGE success.

We had 166 people register for the ride, almost double what we had the year before.

The weather was awesome and we had great sag support from the Goldwing Riders Association.

Many thanks to the Goldwing Riders Association for volunteering their time to ride support for us.

Thank you to Debbie Johnson from Bicycle Specialists for donating a Trek road bike which we gave away through a drawing.

Also, a great big THANK YOU to all of the riders that made this ride a huge success once again. We hope to see you again next year. If you have any comments to share with us, please feel free to send an e-mail to contact@joplintrailscoalition.org. We did receive some suggestions about ways to improve our ride, and we will definitely be looking into them.

One more thank you needs to go out to our sponsors for the ride. For a list, please follow the link below and be sure to thank them whenever you get a chance.
