Special Olympics Gold Medalist Chris Clarida is at the head of the pack of the 2007 Rollin' Round the River Ride.

It's fun to make new friends on a ride.  Denise Kent, Carla Pinkerton, Lazaro Holguin and Bob Kent share a laugh at Whipporwill Academy.

Alexander McCall (age 9) was our youngest rider again this year. He rode with his dad Duncan.

The Carter farm is rimmed with rolling hills.

Edith Carter is our gracious hostess at Whippoorwill Academy.

A paceline powers its way back toward Wilkesboro.

This color coordinated rider is all smiles.
