About the Ride
In 2008, the Club sponsored the first "Signature Ride" to promote cycling and helping to promote non-profit organizations in the community. This project was historical; it represented the first ever event in which a predominantly black cycling club accomplished such an event. This year's designated Charity for the 2021 Signature ride is House of Bread. House of Bread, a non profit Dayton community kitchen providing hot nutritious meals daily.
