MCC Bikers Finish Five Boro Bike Tour


MCCers Cynthia Cooper (College and Community Relations), David Goede (Nursing), Pete Otero (Damon City Campus), Dan Robertson (Chemistry and Geosciences) and Gary Thompson (Law and Criminal Justice) participated in the annual Five Boro Bike Tour in New York City on Sunday, May 4. Forty-four miles and a few sore muscles later (okay, honestly, Cynthia was the only one admittedly in pain), all agreed that it was a great day, a wonderful way to see New York and a good time with colleagues and friends.

The 2008 Tour de Cure

IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO SIGN UP TO BE PART OF THE MCC GANG!

What is better than being outside on a bicycle with a lot of friends, good food, and raising money for a great cause?

The Tour is a ride, not a race, with routes designed for everyone from the occasional rider to the experienced cyclist. Whether you ride 10 miles or 100 miles, you’ll travel a route supported from start to finish with rest stops, food to fuel your journey and fans to cheer you on!

Last year, the MCC Gang raised over $1500!
