The Pedaling With Purpose Awareness Across America Kickoff event was a success. The event started with a 25 mile fun ride on a portion of the National Underground Railroad trail down Old 68 in Georgetown, OH, then across the scenic Rt 52 in Ripley, OH, and then back to Georgetown on Freesoil Rd. The overcast skies in the beginning of the morning looked liked we could be riding in the rain but it held off to be perfect riding conditions. Spencer was our honary starter and he began the ride in cheerful fashion. Sixteen riders gathered to enjoy a great morning of cycling and friendship. After the ride cyclist were treated to lunch sponsored by Subway in Mt. Orab, OH. Each rider also left with a Pedaling With Purpose T-shirt and a sense of pride knowing that they helped three wonderful charitable causes.
After the ride, a silent auction, quarter auction, and a raffle was held. Many volunteers devoted their time to help raise funds for the Brian Grant Foundation, Rachael's Raising Hope, and Spencer's Army. Numerous vendors were available to make the quarter auction a exciting. It was awesome to see a community come together and many connections made. Thank you to everyone that made the Pedaling With Purpose Awareness Across America Kickoff a success!
