WOODSTOCK, GA (BRAIN) Jan. 20— Retailer Dan Thonton, the owner of Free-Flite Bicycles, has donated $10,000 to the Woodstock, Georgia, chapter of the Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association
Thornton’s and Free-Flite have donated $25,000 since the chapter's inception.
"I just thought 'wow', this would be really cool if I could pull this off," said Thornton, who owns and operates three Free-Flite Bicycles locations.
"SORBA Woodstock is passionate about off-road cycling," Thornton added. "And you've got to support those people putting their life into it. There are people literally putting hundreds of volunteer hours into the trail networks in Woodstock and it was no-brainer to help them expand the system."
