One of the biggest events in the City of Shawnee has been the Tour de Shawnee bike ride. This event has a history of over 30 years and is run to benefit the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund).
It is usually held on a Sunday near the end of August. Having volunteered to help out in the past for about 6-7 years I decided to check on line to see if it was on for this year, or if it has been postponed, rescheduled or cancelled.
Wow, was I shocked at what I found on the city web site. When you go to this web page they are still talking about the 2019 event. If you click and go here you will get a registration form for the 2019 event.
What happened to the 2020 event? Now, there will be some folks who will say that with Covid 19 and the stay at home thingies the site was not updated. Horse nonsense. Why wasn't the site updated after last year's date (which did get rained out)? Why wasn't info about the 2020 event posted September, October, November, December, January, February etc?
I sincerely hope that the city manager (Nolan Sunderman) does not pass the blame downstream to the Parks Department. Remember Harry Truman's desk sign, "The Buck Stops Here".
He was probably too busy planning on how he would eventually attempt to justify his 25% salary increase.
