At last, it's over

Well, we did it! The ninth edition of the Tour de Stooges drew about 500 riders once again this year! A big thank you goes to all our hard-working volunteers and the folks at Sodehxo, the company that operates McKendree College's food service, for providing great service.

Above all, thank all of you who rode in this year's ride. You're the reason why it's worth all the hard work to put on the event!

The Belleville News-Democrat had a nice article about the ride in its Sunday edition. Reporter Jayne Matthews did a nice job with the article, talking to some of the cyclists, and Derik Holtmann took some nice photos that appeared in the print edition but are not online. Some of Derik's photos will appear on the Tour de Stooges Web site in the coming week.

Noticably absent from the story is any mention of me, the ride coordinator. That's because I work in the News-Democrat newsroom, and it would be a bit of a conflict of interest for me to be quoted in the story.

I'll write a bit more later, but my mind is mush after a 12-hour day.

Well done Roger! Glad it went well...I'm assuming the weather was nice? It was, way up here on Sat.--I should have taken a ride--but have not for a while.
