Colorburst
Enjoy fall colors, various distances, a pancake breakfast, cookies and fruit at rest stops, and hot soup and bread for lunch while it lasts. Proceeds benefit MADD and other local charities as voted on by Rapid Wheelmen members.
Colorburst was started in 1983 by Craig Campbell, a Rapid Wheelmen member, as a memorial to Donna Ryskamp, who was killed on August 9, 1983, by a drunk driver while bicycling. Craig Campbell was killed when a drunk driver struck his motorcycle on August 29, 1987; Craig was driving the route for Colorburst before printing the map for the ride. Now in its 29th year, Colorburst continues to honor Donna and Craig, and has raised more than $100,000 for Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and other local charities. (More Colorburst History)
