Look for it!! We will be sending you all an email alerting you to when that page is up and a link to it!!
WELCOME TO THE FABULOUS 4th METRIC CENTURY BIKE TOUR WEBSITE
The 26th annual Fabulous 4th Metric Century Bicycle Tour in Tryon last July 4, 2009 was a big success. We received many compliments about the beauty and safety of the ride, the organization of the event, and the great volunteers who helped with the event.
The Fabulous 4th Metric Century Bike Tour is the principal fund raiser of the Thermal Belt Rotary Club. The club has only about 20 members, some of which are inactive. The small size of the club means we cannot do it all ourselves - we will have 100 or so non-Rotarians helping us on July 3 and July 4. More information about the Thermal Belt Rotary Club and the local individuals and business firms who are sponsors of the Bike Tour can be found on this website or the Thermal Belt Rotary Club website at www.thermalbeltrotary.org
The members of Thermal Belt Rotary and all those who have benefited from the Bike Tour earnings owe a debt of gratitude to Robin Michael, who started the event 26 years ago, and managed it single-handedly for about 23 of those years. He has now turned it all over to Rotary, but will still be starting the event and riding lead motorcycle.
We hope most of you who are visiting this website will be with us at Harmon Field in Tryon, North Carolina on July 4, 2010 for the 27th Fabulous 4th Metric Century Bike Tour.
