2017 will mark the 21st ride presented by "TCR" which was founded by Lisa Kasabach. Chair Wills Kinsley is once again leading the ride themed "Holy Rollin" which will take participants throughout the 4 Wards of Trenton visiting some of the active Faith Centers and historic buildings.
This years ride will be a bit longer than previous rides with early estimates at 18-20 miles in length with a tentative date of early October.
Have a listen to some audio from previous TCR interviews on the Trenton 365 Show.
Have a look at some images from our scouting ride which included visits to several faith centers, coffee at Trenton Coffeehouse and Roaster and fruit break at St. Josephs.
I hope that it's not too late to propose keeping the 2017 ride within the 15 mile length that has been a fundamental aspect of the ride's history. Adding another 3-5 miles might make the event less "family friendly" than it has been in the past.
