*_Governor Pawlenty Salutes Edina Morningside Rotary Club and the Edina
Bike Parade!_*





*Governor Pawlenty said, "I salute the Edina Morningside Rotary Club's
efforts to promote healthy lifestyles and healthy communities by
organizing the World's Largest Bike Parade." Minnesota Governor Tim
Pawlenty continued, "Bike riding is a great way for people of all ages
to have fun, stay fit, and get around. The Edina Bike Parade is going to
be a great event, and we hope it will set a new world record that
everyone in our state can be proud of." ***





Join *Greg LeMond*, three time winner of the Tour de France, and ride in
the *Edina Bike Parade* on Sunday, May 17, 2009, and be part of history
in the making as we attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for the
Longest Bike Parade!



The Edina Bike Parade is a way for *kids to help other kids*! The Edina
Morningside Rotary Club gives away thousands of dollars every year to
charitable causes. This event will resupply food shelves in the
community (VEAP), install bike racks at local schools, provide funds for
Y camp scholarships and more.

get your family together and ride your bike in the 2009 Edina Bike
Parade on Sunday, May 17. To register for the Edina Bike Parade, go to
