According to organizers, the successful event attracted about 140 riders and raised more than $35,000 for the Scotts Valley Educational Foundation. About 80 volunteers marked the 100-mile, 100-kilometer and 50-kilometer courses throughout the county, manned rest stops and offered support to riders before they returned to the barbecue, held at Skypark.
