The third annual WCYC Bike-a-Thon will be upon us sooner than you think.   Not only because time flies, but because the date will be August 28, three weeks earlier than last year.  Like last year, you can choose your distance, choose individual or group ride, choose when you arrive, and now, you can choose to walk if you like.  Just adjust your pledge amounts to account for how far you wish to walk or ride.   Prizes will be awarded for the highest pledges for both individual and group.  

The trail selected is the beautiful White River Trail that runs from Elkhorn to Burlington in southern Wisconsin, and you can walk the trail without a state pass.  Bikers 16 and older require a daily $5 or annual $25 pass.  Annual pass to be refunded by WCYC, when you raise more than $100.  The White River Trail is 11.4 miles, or about 25 miles round trip.    It is also used for snowmobiles, so it is wider than many others and very well groomed with lots of shade and scenic countryside to enjoy.  Jacob and Chelsea Coehoorn will host the meal and serve as a rest stop and gathering place, at their home on the trail near the Elkhorn trail head.   There is a nice stop in Lyons, WI with an ice cream shop, railroad depot, and a well-earned midway rest area.   Google “White River Bike Trail” and get more details.   

Whether you are a family, a congregation, a youth group, or a cabin of campers, assemble your group, or a single person, air up those tires, and raise some pledges for WCYC.   WCYC gives so much for you, what a great way to give back to WCYC and ensure this place is ready for generations to come.    

Happy trails!
