CORPUS CHRISTI — Tate Turany, 9, planned to “pedal his brains out” on his green and yellow John Deere bicycle Saturday in his first bike ride event.
The Taft fourth-grader and his stepbrother Hunter Murdock, 11, hoped to finish 12.5 miles and “not fall out,” said their parent, Stephanie Turany, 35.
“I’d just like to get in better shape,” the banker said as she snapped her helmet chin girdle moments before the air horn start.
They were among about 200 people ages 8 to 76 who pedaled through Portland in the first Sunset Challenge Bike Ride.
