Bike the Bay: SC to Monterey Youth Bike Tour
What better way to celebrate the end of the year than with a bike trip? Join GW2S for our 4th annual Memorial Day Weekend Bike Tour! We will cycle to Monterey on Saturday, May 25th and arrive at the youth hostel at dinnertime. The following day we will spend exploring Monterey. We will ride back on Monday, May 27th.
It may sound daunting to ride to Monterey, but it is actually the perfect ride for a first-time bike trip. The route is flat, safe, and surprisingly easy. More than half the route is on an exclusive cycle path. Anyone with legs and a bike can do it. We will go slowly and take many breaks. For more info about the ride, getting your bike ready, cost and scholarships, please contact us at greenways@peoplepowersc.org or 831 425 0667.
Please RSVP by the 15th if you are interested, and we will send you a permission slip and more info.
Phew,
Thanks!
Space is limited. Some scholarships available.
