Bike Carmel presents its first overnight family camping ride this weekend, June 1 and 2.
The family-friendly IU Health North Hospital Bike Carmel: Family Camping S24O ride is a great introduction to bicycle touring and is designed to be much less intimidating than some traditional rides. Sub 24-hour Overnight (S24O) rides have been increasing in popularity across the country and Bike Carmel is proud to host the first in the community.
Bike Carmel: Family Camping S24O will take off at 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 1 from Founders Park on Carmel’s east side. Participants will ride about 10.5 miles to West Park as a group, where they will camp overnight. Camping gear will be transported from Founders Park to West Park and dinner, games for kids and parents and plenty of s’mores to go around will be available throughout the evening. Riders will return to Founders Park on Sunday, June 2, arriving by noon.
The cost is $75 per family (up to six people) or $35 per adult and $20 per child (17 and younger) and is limited to the first 75 participants. Each registered participant will receive an inaugural event T-shirt, Frisbee, drawstring backpack and food for the weekend. In the case of rain, the S240 Ride will be rescheduled for later in the season.
Day-of registration will be available, but for planning purposes pre-registration is preferred at this link. Additional questions should be directed to bikecarmel@carmel.in.gov.
IU Health North Hospital is a proud sponsor of the 2019-2021 Bike Carmel series.
