Ride Lead Needed
We are collaborating with Healthy Community Partnership to host Move the Valley walk and bike series alongside the Downtown Youngstown Farmers Market.
There will be a walking group and two separate cycling groups, one beginner, one advanced. The advanced ride "YSU Happy Hour Ride" is organized by Michael Billock. We are looking for 1-2 volunteers to lead the beginner ride on June 11th and every second Thursday of the month.
Details below:
Join us every 2nd and 4th Thursday (weather permitting) for a walk or bike ride starting at the Main Library (305 Wick Ave). Meet at 5:00 PM; groups head out at 5:30 PM.
Walk group: Meets every event.
Beginner bike ride: Available on 2nd Thursdays (short downtown route). (about 3 miles)
Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/54386579
Advanced bike ride: Meets at Lot 33 on campus at 5:15 PM, departs at 5:30 PM for a 20–25 mile ride through Mill Creek Park (every event).
After the ride, check out the Downtown Youngstown Farmers Market behind the library from 4:00–7:30 PM, then optionally head to Noble Creature for food or drinks.
Volunteers needed: Experienced cyclists are encouraged to help lead beginner rides starting June 11.
