ISLAND CITY, BY BIKE TOUR
Sunday, June 1, 2008. 8th Annual Island City, by Bike Tour. Come celebrate cycling as a form of recreation, fitness activity and transportation by joining the City of Richmond and the Richmond Community Cycling Committee on our 8th annual “Island City, by Bike” tour.
Island City, by Bike is our annual cycling awareness event and this year will feature long (20 km) and short (9 km) rides, both of which will start and finish at Sea Island School (southeast corner of Templeton Street and Miller Road) on Sea Island.
The short route will travel out to MacDonald Beach and back via Templeton Street and Grauer Road. The longer route will head out to Iona Island and return via Grauer Road, Cessna Drive, Russ Baker Way and Airport Road.Come out at 9:30 a.m. if you would like a pre-ride bike and helmet safety check; otherwise the rides depart at 11:00 a.m. (long ride) and 11:30 a.m. (short ride).
The groups will reconvene at Sea Island School to enjoy refreshments and a raffle prize draw. Tour leaders will be conducting the rides, so all you need to bring, other than your bike, is your helmet.Please pre-register for this free community event through Richmond’s Recreation Registration System (Community Code & Class Number: SN-25000) by:
