5th Annual Island City, by Bike Tour
June 02, 2005
On Sunday, June 12, 2005, 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 5th annual "Island City, by Bike" tour.
Island City, by Bike is our annual cycling awareness event and this year will feature long (24 km) and short (8.5 km) rides, both of which will start and finish at Britannia Heritage Shipyard (5180 Westwater Drive in Steveston). The short route will travel the West Dyke Trail and return via Railway Avenue while the longer one will head out to the Shell Road Trail and return via Williams Road.
Come out at 10:00 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 first 100 participants will receive a free safe cycling souvenir.
The groups will reconvene at Brittania to enjoy refreshments and a raffle prize draw with a grand prize of a vintage Peugeot road bike donated by Krusty's Cycles. Tour leaders will be conducting the rides.
Registration for this free community event is encouraged via Richmond's Recreation Registration System (Community Code & Class Number: BN-25000). To register please call 604-276-4300.
