Have you wondered what it would be like to ride with a group of bicyclists or just have a good ride through the countryside?
The Central Indiana Bicycle Association (CIBA) is sponsoring a group ride from Noblesville on Saturday, June 9. The ride starts from the north parking lot next to Field Drive at the Noblesville High School at 8 a.m. A short 20-mile ride with a food stop at the halfway point is offered, along with longer rides of 37 miles to 77 miles. The ride is free and open to members of the community.
You should arrive at the start no later than 7:45 a.m. You can get your bicycle ready and sign in at the registration table.
A helmet must be worn while riding and a red blinking safety light on the back of the bike is recommended.
You can expect a well-marked route, maps and cue sheets for the routes and food and water at the rest stops. If you have a mechanical breakdown, a person will transport you back to the parking lot. An experienced rider will probably be available as a mentor.
Riders should be comfortable riding on mostly county roads with some city streets and state highways.
