Dogwood Trail Bike Ride

Start at BikeWorld (809 Joe Clifton Dr.) 2:30 PM

Sunday afternoon 2:30 pm. Regardless of riding ability, this is one of the most fun rides of the year and it's a great way to start your spring! You don't have to be in shape. Just pedal through some parts of the town's Dogwood Trail at a slow and leisurely pace. A follow vehicle will be on hand to pick up anyone who has difficulty or gets tired. Also, there are lots of places to cut the route short. It's all just for fun! The pace is slow-better for enjoying Paducah's spring time beauty. Entire route is 11 miles, but riders may turn back after a mile, or a block, and head back to enjoy food and drinks. Wear a helmet please, and register at the event. No fee. Registration shows attendance. After the ride, everyone is invited to enjoy a meal together. Meet other riders, tell stories and maybe plan to join another ride! BikeWorld will provide plenty of meat and drinks. Anyone who wishes to bring a side dish is welcome to. RAIN DATE: 4/21/2024
