What else should I know about the Tour De Lopez?
There is something magical about riding along with a bunch of other bicyclists. It feels so safe and encouraging to ride as a group, cars cant help but notice you! The Tour has been going on for several years and sells out pretty quickly, so get your tickets early. All proceeds go to support the Village Park.
