‘You can’t defeat the mountain. You have to sort of work with it’
~~~
John Schultz has two passions: bicycling and serving his community through his Rotary Club of Linn County.
This summer, he’ll be combining both as he joins the Ride the Rockies tour in Colorado to raise money for the club’s youth programs.
Schultz will be biking a little over 300 miles, and ascending nearly 27,000 feet, between June 11 and June 16.
He’s seeking sponsors to pledge money toward his goal of raising $2,690, or 10 cents for every vertical foot he climbs. The money will go to the Rotary Club’s youth exchange program and the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards scholarship program.
