South Coast Bikeway Challenge to be held June 24
The South Coast Bikeway Challenge will be held on Sunday, June 24 at the YMCA Camp Mattapoisett at 50 Reservation Road.
The event features a picnic, fitness, fundraising and bike safety, with all benefits going towards the Mattapoisett Rail Trail.
All participants must wear helmets. An adult must accompany kids under the age of 15.
The picnic will feature music by Scott Parker from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Picnickers can bring their own lunch or buy from the Lion's Club. A hot breakfast and a brown bag lunch are available from the Lion's Club for $5 with pre-registration only.
The Fitness Challenge is to ride your personal best up to 17 miles. Pre-registered riders can ride early at 8:30 a.m. and enjoy a hot breakfast. There will be staggered starts at 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. to avoid too many people on the bike path at one time.
Participants who raise more than $150 will win a gift certificate to a local bike shop or restaurant.
