Ride on Oct. 2 to benefit Habitat for Humanity

The Georgia Bicycle Federation will hold a bike ride on Saturday, Oct. 2. Proceeds from the ride will benefit Newnan-Coweta Habitat for Humanity. Riders may choose rides of 15, 30, 65 and 100 miles. The ride begins at 8:30 a.m. for the 30, 65 and 100 mile option and 9:30 a.m. for the 15 Mile option.

The 15 mile option is directly from Newnan High School and will ride past the Habitat Homes being built in Newnan and back to the high school. The 15 mile is meant as a fun, easy and informative ride. Interested parties are urged to attend whether or not they have a bike. There will be a limited number of bicycles available and participants will still have to register for the ride.

There will also be a pre-ride instructional meeting for rules of the road, comfort, shifting and fun on a bike. Food will be served at the finish line with activities and festivities to enjoy. A special project is going on as well as each finisher will do their part to "build" a miniature version of the habitat home.

The ride will leave and return to Newnan High School located at 190 La Grange St., in Newnan. Directions from Atlanta: I 85 south to exit 41 (Moreland-Whiteburg) Turn right at bottom of ramp.
