Minneapolis Bike Tour —September 14, 2008
The 2007 Minneapolis Bike Tour was a great success! On September 16th, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board hosted its first ever Minneapolis Bike Tour that brought over 4,500 riders to the beautiful Grand Rounds parkway system. Riders came from throughout Minnesota to as far away as California. Because of the generosity of riders, general donors, and exceptional sponsors, we raised approximately $100,000 in support of The Foundation for Minneapolis Parks. Proceeds from the Bike Tour contribute to the Foundation’s general fund, which helps to sustain and improve Minneapolis parks.
In addition to our thoughtful financial contributors, our sincerest thank you to the numerous staff members and volunteers who gave their time—helping the Minneapolis Bike Tour become a huge success. For more information on the Minneapolis Bike Tour, visit www.minneapolisbiketour.com.
