2008 Great Peanut Tour Canceled 

With heavy hearts and deep regrets we announce the cancellation of the 2008 Great Peanut Tour.


During the last 29 years we have met many wonderful cyclists and have enjoyed each and every year of the event.

However, the event this year was a financial disaster. We used funds from previous years, but still found it necessary to borrow $3,000 to pay costs for this years ride. Clearly we cannot continue under these financial conditions.

We thank all who have participated as riders, workers and as volunteers. The Great Peanut Tour has been “one of America’s great bike rides.”

The volunteers have worked tirelessly to provide rest stops that were varied and unique. They did a great job. We believe those stops were our most outstanding features and distinguished it from any other bicycle ride.

The SAG drivers have gone beyond the level needed to provide a pleasant atmosphere for those bikers that needed help or support. They were terrific.

To our community we thank you for your support, your patience and for your pleasant attitude towards the bikers.

To our participants, we wish you much success on other rides, and we hope you will have fond memories of the Great Peanut Tour.


Thank you very much!
