Bike the C-BUS, Tour de Columbus, Walk for Wellness, and Long Street Races.

Was this the first one? A little more advertising and it could turn into a pretty serious event, maybe even as big as the Cbus Marathon.</p> Man, that looked great. Was this the first one?

Thanks to all the volunteers. Lots of cold water, bananas, and energy bars. Also thanks to Zanzibar for passing out those awesome frozen coffee treats when I finished. They were great!

Anyway, great event, and nice to see some areas of town that I hadn’t really seen before. I’ll be attending next year for sure…

Shoulda drawn more peole but I'm not sure how well it was advertised. Nice to get out into some neighborhoods I don't typically have the chance to see. Many thanks to all the folks you hosted it and the sponsors manning the water stations!</p> It was a really well done event. Shoulda drawn more peole but I’m not sure how well it was advertised.
