While the early morning mist was still hovering in southern Taylor County, more than 200 bicycle riders took off in stages for the Tour de Gap bicycle race Saturday from the Old Settlers Grounds in Buffalo Gap.
The 70-mile riders went first at 8 a.m. followed by the 48-, 25-, and 10-mile riders. Within 10 minutes, all were heading south on FM 89 on their various routes.
Biketown, one of the main sponsors of Tour de Gap over the years, was running the tour this year for the first time.
