March 10 th 2007 Harris County, Georgia

This past weekend the roads and highways of Harris County were on fire as 600 Cyclists came to ride the paths of Tour de Georgia's Wheels O'Fire; a Century Cycle Tour in the Historic and Scenic Harris County, through it's rolling hills and valley plains. Cyclist could choose from the full century ride for
experienced cyclists (100+1 miles) or the short and intermediate tours of 26
miles, 45 miles, or 68 miles. The many courses were well marked with rest stops and refreshments stocked along the route. Spotters were stationed along the way and cheered and served the cyclists at key locations through the tour. The 12 rest stops and several crossing post were manned to insure safety for the cyclists during the tour. Volunteers and Firemen manned these posts and rest stops as well as medical personnel roving the course and on call during the tour.It was fun for all as The Council of Fire Chief's put on a spaghetti dinner for the cyclists after their tour, at the Harris County High School. The school served as the start and finish for all four tours. Showers and dressing rooms were provided also at the school. A great day with great weather was had by all!

Saturday night, Callaway Gardens, provided a desert and music under the stars for the cyclist and friends at the Pavilion and Sunday a joy ride through the Callaway Gardens Resort. A fun weekend was had by all. The Seventh Annual Wheels O' Fire was a big success and will be held again next year. See you at The 8thAnnual Wheels O'Fire Century Tour!

The event is put on by the Harris County Chamber of Commerce to aid Harris
County Volunteer Fire Fighters! If you are cyclist and want to have a scenic tour
of Harris County while exercising there is a tour distance just right for you.
