Join Colorado’s electric co-ops September 14-16 for the Pedal the Plains bicycle tour of the state’s eastern plains. Over three days, riders will bike from Kiowa in Mountain View Electric’s territory to Bennett in Intermountain REA’s territory, then through some of Morgan County REA’s service area to Limon where Mountain View is headquartered. The final day, the riders will head back to Kiowa.
Colorado’s Electric Cooperatives are once again a sponsor for the event and the “Powering the Plains” bike team. The team raises money for Energy Outreach Colorado, which provides assistance for Coloradans struggling to pay their heating bills.
Co-op consumers, employees and friends are invited to join the electric co-op bike team. Register as a team member at pedaltheplains.com and choose Colorado’s Electric Cooperatives from the “Join a team” drop down menu. More information is available at www.Facebook.com/PoweringThePlains or by contacting Cassi Gloe at 720-407-0712 or cgloe@coloradocountrylife.org.
Those who register and raise at least $50 for EOC by the deadline earn a free Powering the Plains jersey, as well as a fun bag full of swag prior to the ride. Extended deadline is July 9.
