[NMCycling] The Alt Tour

[Jennifer Buntz]

In the course of enjoying the very dynamic and exciting 2021 Tour de
France, you may have heard about some riders efforts to ride the tour route
independently.

One of those efforts is actually almost finished!  Lachlan Morton, of the
EF Cycling team <https://alttour.ef.com/>, is riding each race course, plus
all the transfers!  He started the day of the first race in Brest.  Asof
today he has completed Stage 20 and is well into his transfer to Paris.

This effort is bringing attention to World Bicycle Relife's effort to get
bicycles to people who really need them for transportation, mostly
youngsters so that they can go to school.  So far, Morton's efforts have
resulted in donations equal to 2846 bicycles.  $147.00 is the amount for
one bike in USD.

Morton is almost done with his mileage and climbing goals, but is still a
bit short of reaching his fundraising goal.  Consider expressing your
interest in the Tour by supporting this Alt Tour's effort to get bicycles
to kids who need them!

Duke City Wheelmen donated enough for one bike, plus the fees ($151.41).

Donations in any amount will help.
