Exert: Tour de…Donut?

by Dana on June 7, 2010

Forget that with Summer comes the ever-popular Tour de France, why not ‘have your donut and eat it too’ by participating in the Tour de Donut? I can’t remember how I came across this, but after a little investigation it appears that there have been events all over the country at different times throughout the year.

Now, I’m not advocating that you stuff down a dozen donuts, but once in a while it’s OK to indulge your sweet tooth. So, why not do it on a beautiful day riding alongside other people who are enjoying the fun? Share a donut and a smile with you as you make your way from station to station.

This year, there is an event in Utah on July 17th. The Utah Tour de Donut is a fund raising event held by the Rotary Club. More information can be found here and you can follow @UtahTourdeDonut on Twitter.

This month’s mantra reminds us to continue our fitness regime while also staying healthy in the heat. Posts this month will focus on reusable bottles and containers that are good for us as well as good for the earth, as well as outdoor activities to keep ourselves and our families moving without falling into a rut.
