Clay County Times-Democrat: Local News: Ride the Fault Line Tour Visits Area (06/16/16)

Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

In what has become a recent tradition, over 250 bicyclists traveled through the area Monday, June 13, as part of the Ride the Fault Line tour. This marks the fourth year the Hemingway-Pfeiffer Museum, of Piggott, has served as a rest stop for the tour, which visits four states in seven days. The past few years a route adjustment to flatter terrain, as opposed to the rigors of Crowley's Ridge, meant the addition of stops in both Rector and Marmaduke. As they have in year's past, Northeast Arkansas rolled out the red carpet for the riders, who represented nearly a dozen states.

This year's event got underway Sunday, as the riders set out from Sikeston and pedalled the 73 miles to Kennett where they spent the night at the American Legion building. Monday morning they made their way across the St. Francis River to Clay County, with a water stop at the Call's Chapel Church and a full rest stop at the local museum.
