In cooperation with the Bowling Green League of Bicyclists (BGLOB), the South Union Shaker Village will host a bike ride through the beautiful countryside, much of what was originally the Shaker’s 6,000 acre farm. Special premiums and options for the day’s event will be offered upon registration.
For more information about the ride and to view route maps visit: www.meetup.com.
There will be three marked routes of 10, 28, and 50 miles, all of which will start and end at the museum. Registration opens at 7 AM. There will be a ride leader/sweeper and SAGs (food stops) on each route. Each rider is required to wear a helmet and sign a waiver.
As a fundraiser for SUSV, we ask that you make a tax-deductible donation of $25 for non-BGLOB members and $15 for BGLOB members. Any other donations are greatly appreciated by SUSV.
