Healthy Exertion found a sweet way to be healthy and give back to the community. Boulderfoodrescue.org and Denverfoodrescue.org are holding an event called Food Rescue Ride at the Cherry Creek State Park on August 13th. Exertion decided to jump in and give these awesome organizations some free publicity and extra cyclists. Please join Exertions call and ride for these organizations charitable causes!
