BRR is not only the biggest and coolest fundraiser for the Perry Chamber of Commerce, but also for our friends in Rippey, too! The Rippey Lions Club, Rippey Baseball Commission, and Rippey United Methodist Church have been welcoming riders over the years, offering hot meals and places to warm up before hitting the road again.

With the annual Bike Ride to Rippey this Saturday, there are a few eating options for participants and anyone else to enjoy in the small Greene County town. According to Nancy Hanaman with the Rippey Lion’s Club,
