Didn't your mom ever tell you that exercising on sweets is the best way to get a stomach ache? Well, these riders said "you-know-what" to that advice and took their chances at the Second Annual Utah Tour de Donut on July 11.
The American Fork Rotary Club, which raises funds for programs both in the US and abroad, hosted this year's event to gather donations for Kona BikeTown Africa. More than 300 riders put away 1,200 donuts before, during and after the 7-mile bike ride, which raised $7,400 for the BikeTown Africa cause which will help send AfricaBikes to home healthcare workers in Africa.
Riders had two opportunities throughout the Tour to reduce their race time by eating as many donuts as possible - with each donut rewarding them five minutes off their time.
Sounds like a pretty good deal to us - donuts, riding and a stomach ache that's worth it for a good cause.
