Our 18th annual Spring Classic Ride went well this year, with just over six hundred (606) riders participating in the event. The weather held out with a little sprinkle in the morning, and dry for most of the day. Everyone seemed to have a good time enjoying the scenic routes, rest stops, and our wonderful homemade cookies. Our riders had lots of encouragement from our bike club staff and a little devil prodding them up Bow Hill road. This ride would not have been possible without our volunteers’ generosity of time, effort, and energy. They make this a fun, safe and successful event for our community to enjoy. Many thanks to all who helped – those who made cookies, ran the rest stops, and helped organize all the little details. Alger Rough Riders 4-H Club did another great job preparing and serving our riders with the pasta dinner at the end of the ride.
