Cyclists take to the streets for kids’ cause during Tour de OC

Bicyclists put their mettle to their pedals this weekend during Tour de OC, an annual cycling event that raises money to aid abused and neglected children in Orange County.

Kickstands flew up Saturday morning as participants took off from Vanguard University’s Costa Mesa campus and made their way through either a 25- or 62-mile course.

Proceeds from the event will help send children who have been abused or are in foster care to the Royal Family Kids Camp.
