The MandaRIDE is the perfect opportunity for Sally, who rides her bike 12 miles every day, to celebrate her love for bicycle riding and support her great-grandchildren at the same time.

“Not only do I have a great love of cycling, but I think it is important that we each do what we can to ensure our local schools have what is needed to provide top-notch programs and education. Our children are our community’s future leaders,” Tatosian stated.

Registration is currently open for all bike routes. The 30 mile bike ride is $50 and includes a post-ride farm-to-fork lunch at the historic Loomis Train Station. The 12 mile bike ride is $25 and the guided family ride is $15.
