The Tour de Rio Blanco is gearing up for it fourth run through the county. The Tour has been set for September 24, 2016. The ride is the brain child of Dr. Steve Alley of the Crosbyton Clinic Hospital. The ride offers four different routes through Crosby County. The most beautiful and demanding of the four rides runs through Blanco Canyon on F.M. 193 to McAdoo then turns to hit U.S. Hwy 82/114.
Each year the ride has been able to donate $1000.00 to the Susan B Komen Foundation to eradicate breast cancer. We are able to do this because of the sponsorship of South Plains businesses. Here are a list of last year’s donors. We thank them for their generous participation in the ride. 2015 Donors include:
CROSBYTON CLINIC HOSPITAL
