Soggy
But Spirited Tour De Grace
Ruth O'Hearn and her grandson Jake
were among those who enjoyed this year's
Tour de Grace. |
Saturday, September 12, dawned dark and stormy, but that didn't
dampen the spirits of 30 stalwart riders, ranging in age from 5 to
70 years old, and 35 volunteers who cheered, fed, and entertained
the riders along the 19-mile mostly-downhill route from Stratton Mountain
to Grace Cottage. Thanks to sponsors BB's Landscaping, D&K's Jamaica
Grocery, Equipe Sport, Howard Printing, Solstice at Stratton, Stratton
Resort, and Three Mountain Inn, and pledges raised and registrations
paid by those who did and didn't ride, almost $4,000 was raised, after
ride expenses, for patient care at Grace Cottage. Next year, the ride
will be on September 11th, with a rain date of September 12th!
