Kent Clapp Extra Lap
Riders are given the option of riding an additional loop of 25 miles on Saturday. No pre-registration for the Kent Clapp Extra Lap is required. All riders completing the lap will receive a patch to honor your extra effort.
This loop is named the Kent Clapp Extra Lap in honor of Kent Clapp, CEO of Medical Mutual of Ohio, who died in a chartered plane crash in December 2009, along with his fiancé. Medical Mutual has been riding since 1998 and in 2011, Team MMO was the #4 team overall raising $33,627.68 with 82 team members. The team was lead by team captain, Leah Sharkey.
Please be sure to check off your name or sign up at the Kent Clapp Extra Lap rest stop to ensure that you receive your 2012 patch.
