After the event, retired C&P Co-Founder and one of our team’s 8 Champions, Lonnie Peterson, had this to say about his 50 mile ride, “It was a Great day, and I was in better shape this year than last . . . probably should have upped my mileage to 65. No matter which direction we were going it felt like the wind was at our back! So, like the pros, I passed everyone I could on the last hill and sprinted to the finish. It was a great day for an awesome cause. Proud to be a part!”
