This is the 28th year of the state's premier bicycle touring event. It ends June 17 with the run from Grove to Baxter Springs, KS, 45 miles away. Along the way, residents share food, entertainment, overnight accommodations, local history.
The Grand Lake Association is sponsoring the June 16 ride and is looking for volunteers to assist. Deb Wolek, Executive Director, said volunteers may call 786-2289 to assist.
