Sorry Dick, your not a winner of the Tour D’Amico Selfie’s Win Prizes contest. Maybe HBC should call you the official 4th of July or TDA Mad Hatter?
At this year’s Fourth of July,Tour D’Amico bike ride and picnic an extra incentive was offered to ride participants to take some fun photos of themselves along the route. The Hiawatha Bicycling Club (HBC) and two of its sponsors, D’Amico & Sons Restaurants and HaveFunBiking.com put together a selfie contest offering two categories, to win prizes from.
