Riders beat the storm
Weekend weather holds just long enough for the Tour de Ed
The sun came out just long enough for a 20-mile bike ride during the morning of Sunday, March 6, when 124 cyclists participated in the annual Tour de Ed. For the 10th year, the ride—dedicated to the late cycling advocate Ed McLaughlin—started in downtown Chico, cruised out to Durham through the almond orchards and looped back into town. Registration fees totaling $4,800 went to the Cyclist Care Fund, which helps pay medical expenses for injured cyclists and funds local efforts to improve biking safety. As for the weather on the otherwise rainy weekend, ride organizer Sandy Fisher observed, “Every year, it always seems to be perfect.”
