Riders from SignatureCare Emergency Center recently joined over 1500 participants for the 39th Annual Tour De Paris Bike Ride in Paris, TX.

The rally featured multiple routes that are tailored to riders of all skill levels. These include the 14 and 24 mile off-road on the Northeast Texas Trail and the 22, 35, 62, 68, and 80-mile county routes.

Led by Dr. Steve Elsbecker, Medical Director for Greater Texas, an avid cyclist, and Angel Cruz, SignatureCare ER Director of Nursing, the team from SignatureCare completed the grueling 80-mile race.

The team reported that Dr. Elsbecker completed the eye-watering 80 miles in just 3.5 hours.

“Congratulations to all the riders who signed up and set a goal. While we were mostly Team "We'll Get There When We Get There," Dr. Elsbecker did cover an eye-watering 80 miles in just 3.5 hours. It was a victorious day for all,” said Angel Cruz.

“A special thank you to Rebecca Scott and Kristal Conley (SCER-Paris) for making this event possible for us. A big thank you to all our employee volunteers from different sites and from the corporate office for hosting "Rest Stop #1" and hydrating the event's 1500+ cyclists,” he added.

Nick Starovic, Director of Radiology, Terra Brewton, Director of Patient Access, Felix Vega – Corporate Marketing, Nicholas Harrilal – Copperfield ER Marketing, Micheal Little – Paris ER RadTech, and Ameila Long – Paris ER Tech.

SignatureCare Emergency Center employees were tasked with providing refreshments for the riders at rest stop #1 and Rebecca Scott, Paris ER Facility Manager, Kristal Conley – Paris ER Marketing, Kiara Ladell – Paris ER Registration, Claysel Cotham – Paris ER Radiology, Nicole Jackson – Director of Nursing for Central Texas, Cecilia Cauley – Corporate Executive Assistant, RTMC, and Kayla Waterman – Corporate Accounting, were up to the task.

Congratulations to all!
