Ride for the River Celebrates the Schuylkill River Trail
NEW ROUTE THIS YEAR!
REGISTER TODAY!Just as summer is waning, we invite our supporters to take a ride on the trail-the Ride for the River. Started in 2014, Ride for the River is one of our largest fundraisers and draws hundreds of cyclists to the Heritage Area each year.
- SRG is introducing a brand new route this year!
- Join us for 13, 25, or 32 miles
- All riders will receive a beverage voucher to redeem at the post ride celebration with Sly Fox. Free food including Handel’s Ice Cream and finish line treats cooked by your favorite SRG team members from 10-2pm
- Ride will be fully supported with sweep riders and on ride support. All road crossings and on rider support will be supported till 1pm.
- There will be 2 rest stops with water and first aid stations.
- 32 mile ride will start at 8:00am with the 25 mile ride starting at 8:15 and 13 mile at 8:30am.
Our annual bike ride is just one of the ways we connect people and families to the river, the trail and the Heritage Area. For many, it’s an annual tradition and a favorite way to support our mission. For others, it’s the first time they are “meeting SRG” and getting to know what we do and why we do it.
