PINE RIVER — Pedal Pine River and Beyond is teaming up with the Pine River Chamber of Commerce for the first Pine River Pedal Community Bike Ride on July 23.
The ride starts at the Pine River Chamber office at 10 a.m.. Riders choose their distance. There is a three mile ride to Bites Grill and Bar and back for families and beginners. There is a 15 mile ride for intermediate riders and a 20 mile ride for hard core riders.
“Riders can also go whatever length they choose,” said Simon Whitehead, co-organizer of the event. “The goal is to get people out bike riding in the community and enjoying the many health benefits of biking.”
Event sign-up is at https://www.bikereg.com/pine-river-pedal . Information is also available at the Pine River Information Center and chamber office.
There is no charge for the three-mile ride; it is $25 for the 15- and 30-mile rides. Everyone who registers will receive a t-shirt and swag bag.
