We will have a snack team and a road team that fixes bikes and provides security, safety, and portable bathrooms where needed.

When we get back to Big Lake Township Lion’s Park, we plan to have space for bicyclists to wind down and have a light supper.

In lieu of our usual inviting the communites for a lt. supper and speaker/s, End of the Road Celebration, we are having a social media share-a-thon to raise education & awareness and raise funds for an organization/s. Funds made from sponsorship & bicyclists will go to 4 organization that are advocates, including Running For Justice. They will be part of the Share-a-Thon telling what their organization does.
