The ride routes consist of Burdette Park's Discovery Trail bike routes in Union Township and in the hills west of Burdette. The shortest route in 6.2 miles. Routes can be combined for those who want more miles. All four routes total 32 miles. Maps will be provided; SAG support too.
Members are encouraged to bring friends and neighbors. We welcome riders of all ages and abilities, including beginners and less experienced cyclists. Since the routes are as short as 9 miles and since everything is free, this might be a great recruiting tool for EBC.May 17: 8:00-9:00 AM Little River Tour @ Hopkinsville, KY at St. John’s UMC, 2808 S.

The ride begins at 10am from Howell Park, registration is free and snacks and drinks will be provided to registered riders. The official route is 10.5 miles through the Dogtown area (what's not underwater anyway) but, we can always stretch it out a bit. What better way to celebrate Earth Day than a good bike ride? See you all there!
