21st Annual Tour de Donut (Bicycling)

Some of you are familiar with this bicycle "race". Some of you are wondering why the word "race" is in quotes. Well, in this 30 mile "race", about 1,000 people ride through the back roads around Staunton IL and at the two pit-stops they have FREE DONUTS!!! Doesn't that sound great? But wait! It gets better!!! For every donut you eat, they subtract 5 minutes from your time. http://wifinetnews.com/images/homer_donut.jpg ON-LINE REGISTRATION REQUIRED: Click HERE to register.

I'll get there early to get a good parking spot near the registration tables and I'll hang the big MEETUP banner on the tailgate of my truck so we can all find each other. The "race" starts at 9am so I suggest you get there at least a half hour before that. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. -Perry-
