Ride to Eat, Eat to Ride
Bicyclists invade Darke County for Tour de Donut
Photos by Bob Robinson

An anticipated 1,250 bicyclists invaded Darke County from more than 15 states and Canada on Saturday.

Called the Tour de Donut, in this unique race riders are awarded 5 minutes off their time for every donut they can eat (limit three handed out at one time) at the rest stop and after the ride.

The goal? A “negative” time in the race.

Riders have donuts marked on their number for each donut they eat and the time is subtracted from their actual time in the race.

Hundreds of riders arrived at Bears Mill over a period of about 45 minutes.  Bicyclists could be seen chomping on their donuts – sometimes all three at once – and cooling off with energy drinks and water before their trek back to the start… Arcanum High School.

As they have for several years in the past, Greenville High School Key Club members helped with the event, handing out donuts, hand wipes and drinks. This year’s volunteers were: Rebecca Braun, Anna Braun, Abby Kindley, Catherine Gibson, Alexis Minnich and Erica Waller.

Placement Awards given for the event were: Men (under/over 50), Women (under/over 50) and Tandems Fastest Adjusted Time - Fastest Elapsed Time - Most Doughnuts Eaten! Attendance prizes will be posted during the race, so you can check as soon as you complete the ride. The Grand Prizes and recognition prizes were scheduled to be announced/awarded starting at 12:00 pm.

New this year… every finisher received a custom finisher medal.
