Sunday was the first-ever Frontier Ohio River Bicycle Tour (FORBT) sponsored by the Cincinnati Cycle Club. There were three hilly routes on the Ohio side of the river (23, 42 and 61 miles) and three hilly routes on the Kentucky side of the river (25, 39 and 62 miles). Then there was the really hilly 98 mile route!
We arrived at Georgetown High School at 5:30 in the a.m. with our load of supplies. We unloaded and reloaded in the dark. John is holding his flashlight so that we can get the supplies organized! Walt, the mastermind of FORBT, and Dan, a SAG driver, are going over routes. 
Our food stop was at the Germantown, Kentucky, Community Center. It was the last stop for the 62 mile riders and the mid-point stop, going both south and then north, for the 98 mile riders. 
The food was ready for our first customer. We had many more customers throughout the day.
Riders were happy to take advantage of the air-conditioned comfort of the community center... especially those headed back north. We closed up about 3:00 to return our supplies to Georgetown High School. A busy day for all!
