100 mile ride set for Friday, September 23
The organizers of this year's Ride for Missing Children are putting the word out early: they want participants, and they want them ready to ride, and out raising pledges.
Chris Arnold, who founded Paige's Butterfly Run, is the organizer for the 100 mile ride, which benefits the NY Regional Chapter of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Arnold says that unlike competitive biking events, this ride has everyone going together--two by two, with a police escort, and that takes a different style of biking. So they offer training rides and 'lessons', Saturday and Sunday mornings at 9am, from the 'rowing' parking lot (by the bridge) at the Onondaga Lake Park outlet.
The ride, on September 23rd, will go through parts of the Finger Lakes and Syracuse, stopping at 6 schools to cap off a week of learning at each, on internet safety. Arnold says the schools are in the Phoenix, Cicero-North Syracuse, Liverpool and Syracuse districts.
