Lions Club presents the Mane Event Gravel Grinder

The Sheridan Sundowner Lions Club conducts vision screenings, equipping hospitals and clinics, distributing medicine and raising awareness of eye disease, Lions work toward their mission of providing vision for all. They have extended this commitment to sight conservation through countless local efforts and through our international SightFirst Program, which works to eradicate blindness.

While appearing on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse, Sheridan Sundowner Lions Club members Bill Rathburn, Jim Rapp and Gale Vanderpool told listeners about the upcoming fundraiser, The Mane Event Gravel Grinder, a rider’s choice race of 25, 50 or 80 miles traversed mostly on gravel roads. 

Rathburn informed potential riders on how they can sign-up for the challenge. 

Vanderpoll told listeners she enjoys the family-like setting of the race and competitors at the starting point. 

The routes of the competition will take riders onto scenic roadways and rolling hills, according to Rapp. 

The Sheridan Sundowner Lions Club is operating a raffle in conjunction with The Mane Event Gravel Grinder. The club will be selling tickets at their booth during the next 3rd Thursday event in downtown Sheridan. 

The race will be held Saturday, Sept. 23. To learn more about The Mane Event Gravel Grinder and register to take part in this fundraising competition, click here.
