Last Saturday, cyclists came out to join Supervisor Dan Storck (D-Mount Vernon) for the 9th annual Tour de Mount Vernon Community Bike Ride to show off the ever-growing network of trails in the Mount Vernon District. Riders gathered early at the Workhouse Arts Center and talked cycling for a while before heading off on the designated route.
Chairman Jeff McKay (D) was there alongside police officers from the Mount Vernon District Station and cyclists groups like Fairfax Alliance for Better Bicycling, Handy Bikes, the Washington Area Bicyclists Association and Rats Cycle as well as other food and drink organizations in Mount Vernon.
Many other organizations helped put together the event including Workhouse Arts Center, Fairfax County Department of Neighborhood and Community Services, Nicole Cousins,-Girl Scouts, Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department, Full Service Bicycle Shop, Casey Whitmarsh-State Farm Agent, South Fairfax Chamber of Commerce, Fairfax County Transportation, La Prima Catering, Bunnyman Brewing Lorton, RatsCycles, and Celebrate Fairfax.
