Tour DeWitt Returning Early in 2016

An event that made a return to DeWitt County in 2015 after a brief hiatus will return a little earlier than one year later.

 

Steve Lobb and his wife Dana were instrumental in resurrecting the Tour DeWitt Bicycle ride across DeWitt County. Lobb says the tour in it's current form is a fundraiser for the local group, the Childrens Advocacy Centers.

 

 

Tour DeWitt is a total community effort. Lobb explains several community groups help with what they call their "rest stops" which are just places along their four routes to provide riders with water and any other needs they may have.

 

 

Lobb says while it's a lot of fun for their volunteers and those that participate, Lobb says his passion for children that encounter undue hardship are his motivation for this event.

 

 

This year's Tour DeWitt is June 25 to start at the United Methodist Church in Clinton.

 

Pre-registration for this year's event is Friday. All those who pre-register will receive an event t-shirt. Lobb says if you don't pre-register, they will still allow you to participate, but they cannot guarantee t-shirt at that time.
