After having several hard conversations over the last couple weeks with Benton city officials as well as looking at where we are with sign-ups just 12 days out from our event and understanding as I was recently told that I am competing against two other major cycling events the same weekend, we have decided to move the TDSS to the Spring.
I am excited that a local cyclist and pastor who has personal knowledge of our ministry, Edd Spurlock has committed to come on board and help me with the planning and ex*****on of the TDSS going forward. This will allow the opportunity to develop a team with some club ride developers so we can put together a great ride and fundraiser. It is important to us to do both of those things simultaneously as we want you to have a fantastic experience with the Tour de Salt Shaker and Backyard BBQ Fest. It is important to launch this event in a successful manner that you can look forward to year after year and one that you list at the top of your "MUST GO TO EVENTS" Please know we are striving hard to make this event a successful for everyone!
Keep a watch out for our new date to be announced!
Thank you for your understanding! I look forward to seeing you in the spring!
