| Tour de Palm Springs
|
| Description |
The event was started to promote having fun while pedaling a bicycle far enough to amaze friends and co-workers while at the same time, volunteering for a good cause.
The first Tour de Palm Springs began in 1998 with just over 300 riders when Tim Esser rode his bicycle solo from Palm Springs, CA to Jacksonvile, FL for charity. Today, the Tour hosts nearly 8,000 riders of all ages and abilities.
