Habitat for Humanity of Utah County held its fourth annual Tour de Habitat Lakes to Peaks Benefit Ride this past Saturday. It was a beautiful morning for a ride! As part of the event, three rides were held for varying skill levels. In the morning, many of the 92 registered riders took on the lofty challenge to ride up all three peaks in Provo Canyon -Squaw Peak, South Fork, and to the top of the Alpine Loop - some finishing the 60 mile ride with 5,800 climbing feet in less than four hours. Others took it a bit easier and road around Orem or limited their ride to one or two of the peaks. A group of boy scouts even came out to complete a cycling merit badge. In the evening, a hand full adults and children braved high winds and rode the Orem Summerfest parade route with Orem City Bike Patrol Officers. Hootz and Holly from the Orem Owlz were there to cheer on the riders. Special thanks to Orem City and all those who volunteered for, supported, or participated in the annual Orem Summerfest cycling event benefitting Habitat's local affordable housing efforts.
