Tour de New River

It takes a lot of Sandford's to handle the balloons for the finish line.

The first set of riders for the 70 mile ride left at 7:30am. The second set for the 40 mile ride left at 8:30am. Fred Beasley sent them on their way after a word of prayer. The first riders coming in and the great volunteers that cheered them on.

Jim and Matt rode 70 miles - The did a great job!

This past Saturday, Phil and I spent part of our day helping out with the Tour de New River. This event raises funds for two villages in Tanzania through two bike rides and a family hike.

This is also the event that Phil piggybacks on with his weightlifting event. Usually they are the same weekend but happened to fall differently this year. Phil's event will be next Saturday at Westwood High School in Mesa. Come on by to cheer him on.
