2003 Blue Cruise Photographs

Our first annual Blue Cruise Wheels for Wellness bike ride held August 10, 2003 to benefit the St. Luke's Children's Hospital and the St. Alphonsus / American Lung Association of Idaho's Camp Super Breathers was a huge success. We had a total of 165 riders participating in the event, along with about 30 volunteers. The 100-mile riders started from our Meridian headquarters on schedule at 7:00 a.m. sharp. Registration and starts for the remaining distances went just as planned. The courses were well laid out and marked, and the volunteers did an outstanding job at the aid stations and support along the way. The after-ride BBQ, raffle and Blues Band entertainment was enjoyed by all, and added the final touches to a wonderful day.
