the community for the betterment of greater Golden.
   Seven years ago Mike Helms had a dream to have a monthly event for 
residents of Golden who love the outdoors and who ride their bicycles. 
Mike, along with a few others who had this same dream, came up with 
Golden Bicycle Cruise. The excitement from the first cruise events 
quickly caught on. Through a partnership with the Golden Civic 
Foundation, in 2013 the Golden Bicycle Cruise had their most successful 
year with over 400 riders attending most cruises.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Mike Helms for this well 
deserved recognition by the Greater Golden Chamber of Commerce. Your 
commitment has made our community a better place for all of us to live.
