Tips & Advice
- Light up your bike before you arrive, since the whole ride is an evening trip through the Christmas in the Park displays.
- Families should arrive after the first half hour, leaving the opening stretch to seasoned cyclists as the organizers request.
- Leave training wheels, tricycles, scooters, hoverboards and throttled bikes at home, because none of them are permitted on the course.
- Dress warmly for a 4.5-mile evening ride in late November, then warm up with the free hot chocolate at Gusto! Coffee Shop.
- Park at the Longview Community Center, then ride over to the start at the Frank White, Jr. Softball Complex.
