Staff and graduate students from the Physical Therapy Department hav e formed a team to participate in the Patterson-Schwartz/MS Bike to the Bay on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1. More than 1,500 cyclists and 100 teams will leave Smryrna High School and ride down country roads to Dewey Beach, returning on Sunday for a total of 150 miles.
