Riders of all ages are invited to join the Colorado Springs Sesquicentennial celebration by dressing up in their favorite “bonnet” or “beard” in leisurely themed bike ride. Join Mayor Suthers and his wife Janet, Saturday, June 5 for a family ride to support community biking and local trails. This ride is organized by Kids on Bikes.

RIDE DEPARTS: Riders should arrive by 9:30 a.m. to check-in before the ride departs at 10 a.m. Helmets are required for children and are highly encouraged for adults.

ROUTE: The Beards, Bonnets and Bikes! Family Ride will start and end at America the Beautiful Park with a six-mile round trip along the Pikes Peak Greenway Trail at a very relaxed pace with minimal street crossings. The group will enjoy popsicles at the halfway point at what has affectionately become known as the PopCycle Bridge (on the Pikes Peak Greenway at Van Buren Street).
