Ann Holt completes 31-mile bike ride

Ann Holt of Marion completed the 50-kilometer (about 31-mile) portion of the American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure on Saturday in Wichita in about four hours.

Holt said this was her third year biking in the event, but her first time doing the 50-kilometer ride. She had previously done shorter rides. The event also has 25-kilometer, 100-kilometer, and 5-kilometer rides.

“The weather was great, and so was the course,” she said.

Holt participated because she has several family members with diabetes. The event is a fundraiser for diabetes research.
