Ice Cream and Bike Rides

Hometown’s Tour de Livingston Training Ride meets Sundays at 8am in Howell

You know we’re head over heels for Tour de Livingston, and we’re all about bringing you in on the fun. So, if you haven’t done it yet, now’s the time to pre-register.

Registering by Oct. 8 gets you an entry for a chance to win the sweet Jamis that we donated to the cause! ( <<< look left)

(P.S. The ice bucket challenge is cool and all, but the Tour’s a chance to directly support YOUR community!)
