Good Things Happening
The Enquirer
The Morning Glory Ride this year starts at 6 a.m. Aug. 7 at Sawyer Point.
About 2,000 riders are expected to bike 25 miles through downtown Cincinnati,
Covington, Newport and to Lunken Airport.
The ride will feature such bikers as Marty Pulmbo, coming from Columbus, Ind.,
with his entire family. Pulmbo has been riding in the event since 1988.
Steve Rindsberg of Fairview, who organizes the volunteers, will be here. He saw
a biker almost die in front of him several years ago. An emergency medical team
was available, and the biker was cared for.
Rich Koehl, who owns Koehl's Bike Shop, will be in the event with all of his
employees who have already printed their own T-shirts.
Andy Addison of Harrison is expected to ride the same bike he rode 20 years ago.
Anne Safdi of Hyde Park will ride as a family tradition with her husband, two
sons and a daughter.
Cammy Dierking, news anchor for Channel 12, is the grand marshal. Honorary
chairwoman is former Cincinnati Mayor Roxanne Qualls.
Riders can register online or download a form at www.MorningGloryRide.org.
They should register online before Aug. 3 or register at the ride beginning at
4:30 a.m. They may also register Aug. 4 from noon until 4 p.m.
All activities will be at Butler Street in the Yeatman's Cove area.
A breakfast, courtesy of Wild Oats, and T-shirts will be provided to riders at a
cost of $25 for adults and $15 for youths. Proceeds from the event benefit the
local chapter of the Sierra Club, an environmental group of 6,000 members. The
club sponsors more than 300 outings a year, including hiking, backpacking, car
camping, biking, canoeing, kayaking and service projects. It also sponsors the
Inner City Outings, a community outreach program that provides opportunities for
disadvantaged children to explore and enjoy the natural world.
For more information, call Suzanne Lawrence at (513) 967-1007 or Jim Paul at
