SONORA BIKE DAY, BZP Tuolumne County

Blue Zones Project, Tuolumne County is partnering with the Motherlode Bicycle Coalition to bring the community two free events this summer! These are family-friendly and promote getting outside for riding and they help families find great places to ride. The first is Sonora Bike Day at Indigeny on June 10th. The second is Columbia Bike Night, Thurs., July 20th in the State Park.

At Sonora Bike Day, Motherlode Bicycle Coalition will offer the community free bike repairs and free flat repairs and lots of free advice on riding your bike! They also will collect used bikes folks want to donate. They refurbish these and donate them to people in need.

Fun at Sonora Bike Day includes giveaways and free raffle tickets for prizes from water bottles to a new mountain bike or win a registration to the Groveland Grind Bike Event! E-Bikes (electric bikes) mountain bikes and kids’ bikes will be available to borrow free of charge. Come ride the trails at Indigeny with your own bike or with a borrowed bike!

Volunteers with the Sonora Mountain Bike Team have worked with Indigeny to create a trail system that is available for public use. The team uses them for practice. The trails will be open plus there will be group rides (with a leader) for accompanied children/teens/adults at 10am and 11am.

Tuolumne County Public Health will have free bike helmets. They will also sponsor a smoothie bike where you can ride a stationary bike with a blender attached to make a free healthy drink!
