This year’s Bike-A-Thon had 438 riders and raised $105,000 to support the work of Bikes Not Bombs! Between the four routes, Bike-A-Thon riders collectively rode 13,123 miles on June 3rd .. that’s approximately more than half way around the world!
What were they riding for?

How about a Team Shark Attack! — Kate, SJ and crew donned homemade costumes and devoured the 65 mile ride, winning Best Costume and Spirit Award – hands down.
Then Team Dennis hit the pavement for the 40 –
