Tour

St.
Louis, Missouri (December 16, 2008) -- The 12th
Annual Tour de Stooges, sponsored by the Gateway Council of
Hostelling International, returns to Highland, Ill., after a widely
successful year in 2008.
Last year
was the Tour de Stooges' first year in Highland after 10 successful
years at McKendree University in Lebanon, Ill.
“As
much as we dreaded moving the ride from Lebanon to Highland, it was
the best move for the long-term future of the Tour de Stooges,”
Ride Coordinator Roger Kramer said. “Cygan-Delaney did an amazing
job with the food, and people were happy with the facilities at
Lindendale Park."
The
2009 Tour de Stooges will be Saturday, May 2, 2009, at Lindendale
Park in Highland. The 2009 Tour includes your choice of scenic
routes of 15, 22, 31, 42 and 64 miles, rest stop snacks, lunch
provided by Cygan-Delaney
Catering of Highland, and for your post-ride entertainment, Three
Stooges movies at the pavillions at Lindendale Park.
Prices
for the Tour de Stooges are $30 for adults and $20 for children.
Riders who pre-register receive a free T-shirt. T-shirts can also be
ordered the day of the ride for $25. Day of registration starts at
