Nearly 100 cyclists from the Wiregrass and beyond will descend on the City of Dothan this weekend for the return of the TriStates 100 century bike ride.
"We're excited to start this event up again," Joe Varner, the race's director, said."We went for 18 consecutive years before we took a little bit of a hiatus. It's been exciting to see a renewed energy and enthusiasm about the event and it's going to be a lot of fun."
"There is a little bit of something for everyone who is interested in cycling or just wants to participate in the event," Varner said. All proceeds from the event benefit the Alfred Saliba Family Services Center, a non-profit agency that provides intervention services for families in the Dothan and Houston County area. The organization has helped over 55,000 families with support services such as workforce training, GED programs, and family counseling since it was founded in 1994.
"Twenty kids are getting tricycles, so we'll have a ride to show those off," Chrissy Metcalf from Dothan Area Cyclists, said."Since our goal is to showcase the kids, a variety of different activities will be going on as well."
