The event includes rides of 17, 26, 41 and 51 miles and a 100 kilometer. It will benefi t the East Texas Food Bank and the American Diabetes Association. Grand Oaks Winery and Vineyard is sponsoring and underwriting the event. The fi ve diff erent rides launch from 8:30 to 8:50 a.m. Volunteers have been recruited and will provide food and drinks at the beginning and end, as well as along the way, of the ride at the nature preserve. Grand Oaks owner Carroll McHenry said that he and his wife, Martha, have been involved with and participated in the bicycle rides for years. Health sidelined them but Animal Preservation of East Tex- as continued the events. Martha McHenry is a diabe- tes educator and she and her husband wanted to host an event in which the proceeds will help those with diabetes, as well as the food bank.
