Allen County bicyclists have banded together for the National Bike Challenge, raking up over a combined 5,000 miles through May to become the 88th ranked community in the country.
“At the most basic level it’s just a way for people to keep track of their miles that they’ve ridden during the summer and compare themselves against each other,” Randy Rasa, 51, an avid bike rider, said.
Out of all the people in the county, Rasa led the way peddling 862.7 miles. Lori Stottlemire had the second most with 605.1 miles, followed by Terry Broyles with 556.4 miles. All three ride their bikes primarily for the sport of it, not necessarily as a means of transportation.
