The Fall Back 40 Color Tour 2023

The Flying Rhino Cycling Club and Kinetic Systems Bicycles thank everyone that came out and made this years Fall Back 40 Color Tour a big success and a ton of fun! 

Many thanks to all the cyclists  that came out and braved the cooler temps.  We hope the rest stops with Diehl's warm donuts and cider along with the fire pits helped you ride on 

Thank you to the Union Joints catering for giving the FRCC a very nice discount on our delicious buffet lunch of pulled pork sliders, mac and cheese and coco salad.  Along with providing us the Bells Brewery Oberon Eclipse craft beer.

Thank you to John Merz at Graphmark Services for the stylish event t-shirts.  We used a retro design from a Fall Back 40 2003 design and Graphmark changed up the artwork and date for us. 

THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS!!!!!!!

This event would not be possible without all of our hard working and dedicated volunteers!  Drum roll please..............
