July’s Dream Ride Lancaster charity bicycling tour raised more than $146,000 for 17 charities.
More than 400 riders participated in the event, completing distances of 10, 20, 30, 62 or 100 miles. Those riders raised funds for non-profit organizations. Representatives from those charities participated by staffing rest stops along the routes.
Dream Ride founder and event organizer Mike Ridgeway was slated to announce the amount Monday afternoon, marking the last day of summer. Joining Ridgeway will be representatives from Friendship Community and Bridge of Hope of Lancaster and Chester Counties, who will speak to the benefit the cycling event on their organizations.
This year’s tours marked the 14th consecutive year the Dream Ride has been held. Since 1995, Dream Ride Lancaster has raised more than $1.9 million.
