Hobler said he would be riding the thirty-
mile circuit. The other riders said they
planned on stopping at the Lincoln Depot.
A breakfast of bananas and granola bars was
offered to riders before they took off on the
route.
The bicycle ride includes multiple lengths
to choose from, including an in town family
friendly five-mile festival route, and 20 and
30-mile scenic countryside routes. “The
country roads here are great for this,” said
Denise Ismari.
A few of the riders suggested that perhaps
the YMCA could offer this program in
September, when the weather is less intense.
Cicci observed that the heat forecast may
have kept more people from participating.
He said the YMCA may take those
suggestions into consideration for next year.
