The bike team for Colorado’s electric cooperatives joined nearly 1,200 bicyclists riding 177 miles through eastern Colorado September 15-17 as part of the Pedal the Plains annual bike tour. The 23-member co-op team, riding under the Powering the Plains banner, rode to raise money for Energy Outreach Colorado, which provides assistance for those struggling to pay heat bills during the winter. Donations to the cause will be accepted through October 13. Visit poweringtheplains.coop to make a donation.
