Ride for Health and Meet an Olympian

Ever wanted to ride with a professional athlete? How about an Olympic gold medalist? Well, now you have your chance! The Blue Cruise of Idaho is putting on their annual fun ride for health. This year they have partnered with Idaho's very own gold medalist, Kristin Armstrong, who won in the women's road time trial competition in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Kristin will ride in each of the four Idaho rides. She will also be delivering a motivational speech and signing autographs during the events. And that's not all! Each event will have a community wellness fair and a bike rodeo.

The STP Experiment learned about this event from a friend who has participated in the past. She said it was a blast and and plans on riding again this year.
