Dear GOBA Riders,

This year represents a milestone for GOBA! As the tour celebrates its 20th year, Bob Evans Restaurants celebrate our 20th year of partnering in a sponsorship capacity with the Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure.

Over the years, we have watched the tour grow as its participants experience the challenge, accomplishment and joy of a week-long bicycle tour to discover the treasures of Ohio. It has been a pleasure to participate with the organizers of GOBA and with Columbus Outdoor Pursuits to make this event possible.

GOBA's mission is an important one: to organize a yearly one-week bicycle vacation to inspire independence and nurture personal growth; learn about Ohio, its people, geography and history; provide intergenerational recreation; enhance the image of bicycling in Ohio; and to raise funds for bicycle-related projects in Ohio. At Bob Evans, we are honored to support such a mission.

This year, we are excited to welcome new riders to GOBA, and we are thrilled to know that so many will be returning to a tour that allows you to share a camaraderie and friendship with other bicycling enthusiasts. Our Bob Evans Restaurants at both of the two-day stops along your route are excited to meet you and show you the hospitality that has made our Ohio-based company a family favorite!

We thank you for your support of GOBA and look forward to seeing you on this year's route June 14 through June 21!

Sincerely,

Steve Davis
CEO, Bob Evans Farms Inc.
