Le Tour De GI "Race" Results
In case you missed it, last weekend Game Informer ran its first ever community ride dubbed "Tour De GI." We had nine adventurous readers show up for the planned 27 mile ride, GI editors Dan Ryckert and Ben Hanson (though Hanson was late and joined us at Minnehaha Creek because he apparently doesn't know how to work an alarm), two friends of GI, and myself.
We started a little late, rode as one group, and had wonderful weather (maybe it was a little warm) . First I would like to praise all the riders, as I must say we moved at a very quick pace for the size of the group and range of experience. To mock the leader (me), we did go a little too fast and lost a couple riders at the start, but we all got back together at the end for the tour of the GI offices.
And of course, there is the very important stat that we all made it safely back home.
Hopefully the office tour was a highlight for our intrepid riders, where we showed them the ins and outs of the place, and even let them wander around the Vault (our giant library of video games) that one reader stated perfectly as, "much more impressive in person."
We gave out Game Informer t-shirts to all that came along, and I'm in the process of hooking them all up with a free 1 year Game Informer Digital subscriptions (Mike I can't find an email from you!).
I wanted to thank all that attended and encourage others to get out and ride a bike from time to time so next time we do our community ride (and we will do it again) you can join us, as I know I had a blast and from what I heard, the same can be said by those that came along.
Thanks again all and see you again next time.
Cheers,
Andy

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
