4th Annual Tour de Vance April 30th, 2016


From novice to well-seasoned, we have rides for all riders! The 10-mile Family Fun Ride is great for beginners and families. A 20-mile course awaits cyclists ready for a bit more. The 30-miler rolls through forest and farmland; 60-mile ride spurs off the 30 to visit Kerr Lake.  

Ride, have fun, and raise money for United Way of Vance County’s “United We Read, United We Succeed” program, which works to improve reading ability in all 3rd graders in the county. Every 3rd grader gets a free book and a one-year subscription to an online reading program, among other means of reading encouragement. Contact tourdevance@gmail.com for more info.
