Purcell Comments on the Tour des Trees 2008
After months of preparation for the Tour
des Trees, which included fundraising and training every week,
doubting if it really was worth it, the answer came to me clearly
on Monday, July 21. Over 60 riders from all over the U.S. were
buzzing around downtown Indianapolis ready to “wander Indiana” and
see what we had to offer. All of these riders, with the same
purpose and passion, pedaling around Monument Circle, taking
laps around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, struggling through
the hills of Brown County and enjoying the landscape of Southern
Indiana, found out there is more than corn in our state. I journeyed
300 miles with my peers, colleagues and friends, proud of my
profession and my state. Yes, it is worth it and I would recommend
doing it to anyone with enthusiasm for trees and a crazy sense
of adventure. Click on the links below for pictures of the tour.
