"The success of the 20th Anniversary Tour de Menlo is a testament to the incredible support we received from the community," said a Yuhui Chen, the Chair of the 2023 Tour de Menlo. "We are thrilled to have raised such a substantial amount, which will enable us to provide financial scholarships to deserving local high school seniors and support important charitable initiatives in our community. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the 36 local business sponsors, 32 individual donors, and all the participants who made this event a resounding success."
 
A total of 482 riders enthusiastically participated in the Tour de Menlo, choosing from four different course options: 63, 43, 33, or 12 miles.
