The 13th Annual Bike Ride was held September 2-4 in Central Illinois.  Over 60 riders traveled over rolling hills and river bottoms throughout seven counties, beginning and ending each day in Morton.  The riders visited 46 schools as they traveled through the heartland, teaching students of all ages about the importance of agriculture in their daily lives.  At each stop bike riders and students participated in a skit called “The Ag Bandit” .  The counties visited were Fulton, Logan, Mason, McLean, Peoria, Tazewell and Woodford.
