The Umpqua Velo Club will have this year’s annual Earth Day Ride on Saturday, April 24th.

The ride will follow a familiar traditional route going out Melrose Road to Melqua Road then to Hubbard Creek Road stopping at the Lighthouse Bakery. The return ride will be on Garden Valley Road. The ride is 26-miles long and will be done at a leisurely pace. There will be a vehicle to pickup anyone who has a mechanical problem or overestimated their ability. A helmet is required and a facemask is required when stopped, except when eating.

Non-club members will need to sign a waiver for the ride. Call 672-1757 for more information about the Umpqua Velo Club.
