Nine year old Alexander McCall of Statesville was the ride's youngest participant again this year. Donald Hedrick, 77, of Hickory holds the distinction of being the oldest rider in the six year history of the Rollin' Round the River Ride.</div> <bR> <div> The ride also drew a number of teens who (gasp!) were actually seen in public with their parents. Young riders included Macy Christian of Rutherford College, Allison and Zachary Arensman of Rutherford College, Bridgette McLean of Deep Gap and Adam Sturgill of Lenoir.</div> <bR> <div> The ride raised an estimated $2,000 for Wilkes County Special Olympics. Special Olympics gold medal cyclist Chris Clarida, 28, of Moravian Falls led the peloton at the start of the ride. Chris rode to Fort Defiance and back with his coach, Keith Summerford.</div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="510" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" BGCOLOR=#336699 > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 419 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="a9ee03f0.jpg" border=0 width="480" height="319" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <I>Special Olympics Gold Medalist Chris Clarida </I></div> <div> <I>is at the head of the pack of the </I></div> <div> <I>2007 Rollin' Round the River Ride.</I></div> <bR> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 419 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="aa0e03f0.jpg" border=0 width="480" height="319" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <I>It's fun to make new friends on a ride.  Denise Kent, </I></div> <div> <I>Carla Pinkerton, Lazaro Holguin and Bob Kent </I></div> <div> <I>share a laugh at Whipporwill Academy.</I></div> <bR> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 803 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="aa2e0d20.jpg" border=0 width="480" height="722" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <I>Alexander McCall (age 9) was our youngest rider </I></div> <div> <I>again this year.
