Athens Bicycle will join Athens AM Rotary and other local organizations in sponsoring the Quilt Barn Ride and Poker Run on July 18. This benefit bike ride offers your choice of a 30- or 50-mile ride in the hills of Athens. The Athens County Quilt Barns feature paintings of traditional quilt patterns on local barns. Riders will go to five quilt barns and receive a card at each barn for a five-card poker hand. The grand prize is a $1,500 entry fee to ride in the Pelotonia Tour – a 100-mile ride from Columbus to Athens on August 29 with Lance Armstrong. There are many other adventure-based prizes including horseback riding, canopy and zip-line tours, guided canoeing and kayaking tours, and cabin and B&B overnights. Come as a group and get four riders for the price of three! The ride benefits cancer research and the Athens AM Rotary. For more information or to register visit www.quiltbarnride.org.
