The end of early bird registration for the 5th Annual Sand Plum Bicycle Classic scheduled for Sunday, May 4, is coming soon. That end date is April 24.
The Sand Plum is a 13-mile, 28-mile, 53-mile, and a 5-mile family ride through Reno County.
Those getting involved need to come to the Oz Building breezeway on the state fairgrounds wearing a helmet and have a bottle of water for the road. They’ll start the ride at 8:00 a-m, and have stops along the way where those involved can rest and recharge. Officials say this is not a race, but a fun ride for all to enjoy, so you can ride at your leisure.
Registration is 25-dollars and includes a ride t-shirt, but are not guaranteed after April 24. Children under age 14 can participate in the ride for no charge, but will need a signed waiver.
All funds earned from the Sand Plum Bicycle Classic will go to the Friends of the Trail Fund at the Hutchinson Community Foundation. All money will be used for enhancements and amenities for the trails.
