On Saturday, Sept. 25, Healthy Adams Bicycle/Pedestrian, Inc (HABPI) will host its 6th Annual Ride for Trails to raise money for trail development in and around Gettysburg.
Three different routes are being offered this year: 12 miles, 25 miles, and 40 miles. All rides begin at the Gettysburg Rec Park, 545 Long Lane, and travel through the Gettysburg National Military Park and over picturesque Sachs Covered Bridge. The longer rides also wind through the quiet country roads to the south of Gettysburg with a rest stop halfway through to recharge. All rides end at the Rec Park, where a free lunch is offered to riders beginning at 11 a.m.
The 25- and 40-mile rides will be “show and go,” where riders can depart on their own schedule after check-in which opens at 8 a.m. The 12-mile ride, which departs at 9:45 a.m., will be guided by HABPI members at a leisurely pace.
Pre-registration and additional details on the ride are available at https://habpi.redpodium.com/habpis-ride-for-trails-2021. Pre-registration is just $35 and is open through noon on Sept. 24. Those who register by Sept. 1 will receive a free Ride for Trails t-shirt. Registration on ride-day is $40.
Registration forms are also available at the Rec Park, the Gettysburg YWCA, and at Gettysburg Bicycle & Fitness.
If you are unable to ride with us, please consider making a donation to HABPI via the registration link above or by check made out to HABPI and mailed to 355 S. Howard St., Gettysburg, PA 17325 (attn. M. Bramel).
Proceeds from the event will support HABPI’s work to develop and maintain trails and bike routes in and around Gettysburg.
