ELLAVILLE – This second annual event raises funds for Deep South Canine Rescue.  Choose from a 67-mile route (8:30 am), a 27-mile route (9:00 am), or a 5-mile route (10:00 am). All three of the rides will be starting in Ellaville, GA. Registration includes t-shirt (while-supplies-last for registrations after September 1), snacks, and lunch.

While this event will serve as October’s “First Saturday Ride”, unlike the monthly casual rides, riders will need to register for this event.  As a fundraiser event, riders also get the satisfaction of knowing that they have helped in “saving lives four paws at a time”! For more information and to register, go to www.sumtercycling.org.

Anyone can Bike, walk/run, or roll their way into this free competition, Contestants must submit miles that they move during the challenge period (Oct 13-15) to earn points and prizes. Contestants can form a team from an entity such as a workplace, school, or church — and all participants also compete on the individual scoreboard.
