Vincent Shay and Emily Stern of SLO Coast Kayaks & Stand Up Paddling in Avila Beach believe in giving back to the Central Coast, the community where they have lived for over twenty-five years. They have hit upon a novel way of accomplishing this while still being able to run a successful kayak and SUP rental and touring company.
The 4th Annual Tour of Paso Bike Tour, which benefits The Wellness Community of the Central Coast, starts at 8:30 am this coming Saturday, April 21, 2012. Each rider who is participating has raised at least $200 in pledges for The Wellness Community. Following the 35-mile or 7-mile ride, a BBQ Extravaganza and Awards Ceremony will be held at Niner Wine Estates. BBQ is free for riders and children, and additional tickets can be purchased for $25.
