The Sixth annual Cruisin’ the Cornfields bicycle tour fund-raiser sponsored by SAArts had 48 riders.

“The ride went really well this year,” event coordinator Stepheny McMahon said, noting the weather was perfect and all the roads were clear and smooth.

Starting at Wyman Park in Sullivan riders were given two choices for the ride. The 16 mile tour began at Wyman and went to Okaw Valley Orchard.

“The Okaw Valley Orchard is a good rest stop where riders can take a break and have refreshments,” she continued.

Those choosing the 16 mile route return to Wyman Park from Okaw Valley Orchard while those choosing the 41 mile tour continue to Dalton City, then on to Lake City where another rest stop was set. Of the group 27 riders chose the 41 mile tour on Saturday. Ride time for the 41 mile bike tour was about three hours.
