Students should plan to bring their own bicycle and helmet to participate in the bike ride.  All participants in the bike ride will be entered for our door prizes.

Numerous door prizes will be awarded  – water bottles, bicycle horn, $25 gift certificate to Busytown Bikes and a gift certificate for a tune up at Busytown Bikes.  A raffle will also be held for a brand new bike!

In the event of inclement weather, the event will move inside to the gymnasium  and offer some bicycle safety and helmet fittings.
