Woiwood, along Tom’s family, created Tour de Lakes in memory of Tom Logan. “Tom and I had trained together for the championships in Frederica right up until his death. We had always talked about a ride such as this and Tom would never pass up the chance to go on a nice bike ride,” said Shari Woiwood. Tour de Lakes encompasses five area lakes – Longview, Raintree, Lakewood, Blue Springs and Jacomo – and passes through the cities of Kansas City, Lee’s Summit, Greenwood and Blue Springs.
The ride begins at the Longview Recreation Center at Longview Community College at 7am on the Saturday June 23rd, rain or shine. Riders may choose a 10 mile ride around Longview Lake, a 26.5 mile ride including Longview and Raintree Lakes or a 62 mile ride touring all five lakes. The route is always marked; a map is provided at registration and Lee’s Summit Sunrise Rotarians are posted along the route to cheer on the cyclists.
Tour de Lakes proceeds benefit the Legacy Park’s new accessible playground sponsored by Lee’s Summit Rotarians and Parks and Recreation as well as the Longview Foundation whose mission, in part, is to enhance healthy living supporting events that challenge and invigorate the mind and body.
