Meet Steve Luke

 

 

 

Meet a Martinsville insider, Steve Luke. Steve was born and raised here, and thinks Martinsville-Henry County is a great place to live, work and play!  You will often find Steve paddling the Smith River with members of the Smith River Valley Canoe Club, bicycling the roads of Henry County or hitting the mountain bike trails at Cedar Ridge. His passion for cycling and his involvement with the Henry County Bike Club have made volunteering with the M-HC Chamber of Commerce’s Education Foundation to present its annual Tour de Scholar Charity Bike Ride a good fit. From marking routes, recruiting riders and conducting the riders meeting, you will see Steve involved in all aspects of the event.
