Fifth annual ‘Shine Pedalers ride biggest yet
244 cyclists gathered at the Georgia Racing
Hall of Fame Saturday, July 29 to take off on
either a metric (68 miles) or half-metric (36
miles) tour of Dawson County. The ride was
hosted by the Dawson County Chamber of
Commerce and Office of Tourism Devel-
opment. “Our fifth annual ‘Shine Pedalers
Metric was our best one yet,” Chamber Pres-
ident Christie Haynes said. “This event is an
excellent way for our office to showcase our
beautiful community to cyclists and outdoor
enthusiasts. With slight changes to the route,
we were able to better ensure rider safety and
offer even more beautiful view of our county.”
