IRON MOUNTAIN -- In Iron Mountain, the 6th annual Tour de Dickinson event took place Saturday.

The Tour de Dickinson is a casual bike ride around the county, not meant to be competitive. After they finished their ride, each biker enjoyed lunch outside Pine Mountain Resort that came with their registration fee. Proceeds from the event all go to the Dickinson County Bike Path Committee which plans to extend and improve bike paths across the county.

Around 350 bikers participated this year, some from as far as California and Florida.

"We got all the people that we wanted to ride, and all of our great sponsors to help us out," said Devona Brown, a volunteer.

Each biker was also given a free ticket to Italian fest.
