ABOUT THE SIGNATURE RIDE
Come Ride with Us
The first MTCCD Signature ride took place in 2008 with a small group of riders and has grown steadily over the years to become one of the more popular rides in this area.
Proceeds from the Signature Ride are donated to local non-profit charity organizations. This year our charities are The Victory Project and Sunlight Village. The Victory Project is a Dayton non-profit after-school program mentoring disengaged young men in grades 8-12. The Sunlight Village is a non-profit that supports the mental health and well-being of the youths in the Dayton Community. Past recipients have included the House of Bread, West Dayton Strong, Bicycles for All, Mercy Manor, Dayton Children’s Hospital bike safety program, the Westmont Optimist Club of Dayton, the Wesley Community Center, and the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Dayton.
