There was a major bike race that was held in front of Union Station in Kansas City, Mo.
The race is called City of Fountains. Well over 200 bike enthusiasts participated in this event. Bike enthusiasts came from all parts of the greater Kansas City area.
One of the groups that participated in the race was Wyandotte social services based in Kansas City, Kan. What they did was they gave drinks and snacks to the participants who rode in this gala event. Because of the center’s generosity this truly made this event a grand success especially for those who participated.
