Biking to Ada for a great cause

It's the annual Young’s Ice Cream Charity Bike Tour
Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, July 15, 2018

By Monty Siekerman
Many event organizers are happy to raise a few hundred dollars for charity while others aim for a few thousand; however, the bikers who came to Ada on Saturday raised between $100,000 and $125,000.

As temperatures approached 90 degrees and the heat index was nearing 100, the 200 bikers from the Dayton area arrived happy that they accomplished their feat. Applause and cheers from volunteers greeted them as they passed the finish line. Mr. Banana was there, and Jon Umphress let the siren rip as the bikers finished their day, all for good causes.
