Hundreds of bicyclists will pass through Bluffton on Sunday.
The village is a major stop in this year’s Hancock Horizontal Hundred Bicycle Tour. The Bluffton stop has served as part of the tour for the past several years.
This is the 48th annual tour, according to Paul Craun, event coordinator for the Hancock Handlebars, sponsor of the ride.
Bikers have a choice of 20, 33, 50, 68 or 100-mile routes.
Bluffton is the 24-mile stop on the 50-mile route, the 39-mile stop on the 68-mile route and the 52-mile stop on the 100-mile route.
There will be dust and a bit more noise around the First National Bank’s Bluffton office beginning today (Sept. 5) but it will be worth it in the end. The branch will undergo a renovation for the next 60 days.
Once the construction is complete the branch will include more offices, a conference room and updated decor. FNB will also be introducing cash recyclers to assist the staff in quickly accepting and dispensing cash all while storing it securely between transactions.
