5th Annual Tour the Carroll

Who would have thought we would get to celebrate the last day of June in mid-October? As it happened, last Sunday the weather was exceptionally warm, the sun was shining and moods were great. This year’s ride was also the first to follow the entire Big Loop.

If you missed the 5th Tour de Carroll – check out the pictures and mark your calendars for next year – the ride always happens on the 3rd Sunday in October!
