Columbia Archives celebrates 10th annual BikeAbout event Saturday, May 8

Bike About

The Columbia Association’s (CA) 10th annual BikeAbout event will be held Saturday, May 8.
To celebrate a decade of discovering Columbia’s history and beautiful open space along Columbia’s extensive path system, CA has added some exciting features to this year’s event. We will be offering a walking tour option for walkers and their dogs; and hosting a post-ride/walk celebration to include fitness activities, a bike rodeo that fosters bicycle safety, mini-bike repair clinics and more.

Registration will begin at 9 a.m. Following a short opening ceremony, bicyclists may begin the bike ride anytime between 9:30 and 10:30 a.m. This year’s 15-mile route will take riders through Town Center, Wilde Lake, Oakland Mills, Long Reach and Owen Brown. Walkers, with or without dogs, will leave on the two-mile walking tour at 11 a.m. Post-ride/walk activities will begin at 11:30 a.m.

Organized by the Columbia Archives and sponsored by CA, BikeAbout is a popular event drawing several hundred bicyclists annually. The route takes advantage of Columbia’s extensive pathways while uncovering the area’s historic and natural beauty. Signage and guides at key stops make this not only a bike ride, but also a tour that helps area residents discover the history of where they live.

Pre-registration is encouraged. Registration forms are available at www.ColumbiaArchives.org; CA fitness facilities; CA headquarters, located at 10221 Wincopin Circle in Town Center; and Columbia Archives, located at 10227 Wincopin Circle in Town Center.

For more information, please contact Barbara Kellner at Columbia.Archives@ColumbiaAssociation.com or 410-715-3103.
