Thank you!
Thanks to all cyclist and volunteers that helped make our 6th annual Pedal Thru the Pines successful. We had about 1,300 riders this year, about 400 more than ever before. The volunteers have given us feedback that they were totally amazed at the number of cyclist and how nice everyone was.
We at the Family Crisis Center would love to hear any feedback that you may have that will help us improve our future rides or to let our volunteers know how much they are appreciated.
