The group is made up of cyclists from all over the U.S. and Canada and will cover 5 States in 7 Days with the ride starting in Idabel to Broken Bow, Mena, Poteau, Vian, Tahlequah, Grove, and Galena Kansas.
 
“With any event that the Chamber works getting to Poteau, it takes volunteers and dollars. The real impact is to the local restaurants, retail stores and convenience stores. We could not do this without the help of the entire City, Poteau PD, and the City of Poteau Employees.” States Karen Wages, Poteau Chamber CEO and Event Organizer.
