The Future |
| |
The goal of the Tour de Dickinson Bike Ride for the Entire Family is to put on an annual event that keeps growing year after year. Aside from the bike ride, our desire is to draw more business into the local economy by attracting people to Dickinson County and the surrounding areas for the event. All while giving back to local hospital projects and services. |
