Bikers of all ages and skill levels will converge on DeWitt County later this month for the annual Tour DeWitt Bike ride that will benefit the Children's Advocacy Centers.

Steve Lobb and his wife Dana along with a host of entities and volunteers are once again readying for Tour DeWitt 2017 that takes place June 24 which will take dozens upon dozens of bikers across the beautiful landscape of DeWitt County. Lobb says after three years of organization, he's learned if it isn't broke, don't fix it.

The tour originates at the Clinton United Methodist Church and there are four levels of routes. Lobb says there is a basic and intermediate route, to Weldon Springs and the next near Syngenta and near Clinton Lake west side access area.

Then there is a couple more challenging routes. Lobb indicates one is about 40 miles that is a similar route to their intermediate routes and then a 62 mile route out to Farmer City.

According to Lobb, the ride benefits the Children's Advocacy Center is something that is close to Lobb. He explains he got involved with the agency about five years ago through a ride they did, and now hosts this event for an agency that is always in need of financial support.

Lobb thanks his wife for all her support in this effort. He also thanks the Clinton Police Department and DeWitt County Sheriff's Department along with clubs like Rotary, Kiwanis, and the Clinton and Farmer City Chamber Commerce offices.

The ride again is June 24 with registration starting at the Clinton United Methodist Church. To get registered, visit tourdewitt.weebly.com. Lobb indicates a pre-register by June 9 gets a rider the Tour DeWitt t-shirt for this year.
