Cyclists have been known to take less-than-perfect weather without complaining, however, after Saturday’s 34th Annual Tour de Meers ride there was nothing to complain about as riders were greeted by cloudy skies, cool temperatures and little or no wind.
“It was just a great day for a ride,” Liz Sanderson of Wichita Falls said while getting lunch at one of the event sponsors, Wayne’s Drive-Inn. “Everything is so well organized and we just love coming to it because of the mountains and the great views.”
Husband Keith has ridden in three past events and Liz was making her second journey around the modest 22-mile course.
“We noticed a lot of families this year and I imagine the good weather had something to do with that,” Liz said. “They make it so easy to enter and just go and have fun and ride at your own pace.”
While the official entry numbers were still not available, it appeared that more than 600 riders took part. Now the Meers Fire Department is already preparing for it’s 35th event next May.
