Now's the time to register for Tour de Stooges

The eighth edition of the Tour de Stooges bicycle ride will be Saturday, May 7, at McKendree College in Lebanon, Ill., and now is the time to register for the ride!

Why now? Because if you register by April 15, you get a $5 discount on your T-shirt! Through April 15, the shirts are $15. After that -- including day of the ride -- the shirts are $20. The shirts are licensed Three Stooges merchandise featuring a Stooges in the professorial gowns they wore in the classic short "Violent Is the Word for Curly" and a map of the Tour de Stooges course on the back. This year's shirt honors our host for the event, McKendree College. The image at left is the one that will appear on the T-shirt.

The Tour de Stooges consists of five routes ranging from 13 to 63 miles on scenic, lightly traveled roads in Southwestern Illinois. After the ride, enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet, which is included in the cost of the ride, and all The Three Stooges films you can stand.

In recent years, the ride has drawn people from as far away as Chicago, Kansas City, Memphis and Iowa. We hope you'll come visit us May 7 for the ride!

To learn more about the ride or to register, visit the Tour de Stooges Web site. We offer online registration through Active.com, or you can download a PDF form on our Registration page.

Hi Laura!

Thanks for the kind words about the Tour de Stooges! You're excused from this year's ride since you will be a key part of Midwestern State University's quest for national championships!
