Bloomin' 2008 Will Offer Riders
Another Great Bike Tour


Sound Cyclists Bicycle Club's 31st Annual Bloomin' Metric™ bicycle tour will once again be offering three great scenic rides in the Spring of 2008 - 25 miles, 75 kilometers and 100 kilometers.

As in the past, a portion of the proceeds from the entry fee for Bloomin' Metric™ 2008 will be donated to help support Fairfield County Safe Kids. Fairfield County SAFE KIDS has set a new standard in the area of injury prevention by bringing together two hospital institutions as the core of the Coalition. They have also partnered with many other organizations both locally and nationally to work in a collaborative effort to reduce unintentional injury to our youth.
