Ride 2 Somerset, like Ride 2 Boulevardia and KC Century before it, is built around one mission: making sure no one rides alone. A cancer diagnosis — and the treatment that follows — can be a frightening, isolating journey, one that has touched many of us personally. In 2019, our teammate, friend, and board member Bob Kimbrough lost his courageous battle with cancer. This year, we honor Bob’s memory by assigning him the #1 number plate. On Saturday, we’ll raise a glass to Bob and to all our friends, family, and teammates continuing their fight against cancer. We hope you will join us.
