This year’s 3rd annual Ride to Remember bicycle event, set for Saturday, July 8, in Bluffton, takes bike riders as far they want to go – from 2 miles to a 112-mile Gran Fondo.
Riders from past year’s come from across Ohio and neighboring states. The village has several events going on for family members not riding, while the ride is underway.
Who ya for? The answer: both. This ONU and OSU supporter wears his school loyalty on his sleeve...or, in this case, his license plate. The two-university plate was spotted on a black Altima on ONU's campus.
