Fort Wayne Outfitters & Bike Depot to sponsor this week's trail ride
Fort Wayne, Ind. – The City of Fort Wayne's series of free community bike rides will continue tomorrow at 6 p.m., with an 8-mile ride along the Rivergreenway. Participants will meet at Lawton Park, in the gravel parking lot on the south side of Fourth Street – near 250 E. Fourth St.
Tuesday's Trek the Trail ride is being sponsored by Fort Wayne Outfitters & Bike Depot, www.fwoutfitters.com/.
Mayor Tom Henry has praised the free community bike rides for providing a unique forum for citizens to get together with family and friends, while participating in a healthy activity.
Participating cyclists are asked to meet at the start of the 6 p.m. rides no later than 5:45 p.m. and are required to wear helmets.
If there is unsafe weather -- such as heavy rain, lightning or extreme heat -- the ride will be cancelled. A cancellation notice will be posted at www.FortWayneParks.org, on the Rivergreenway's page for News and Events.
The City is hosting its third season of Trek the Trails – a popular series of free, guided community bike rides along 68 miles of trail network.
