 Our SKP Board, in the interest of promoting youth cycling and helping families, has committed to make all youth registrations, ages 0-17 free; if pre-registered and with an adult registration.    Children must also be accompanied by an adult rider and wear a helmet to participate.

This years routes are all in process of design.  We hope to have them posted online ASAP.  We use Ride with GPS.

(While all effort is made to design a route which is close to the distance advertised, sometimes a road project causes us to revise a route.  Thus, all distances are approximate!)

We encourage safe and smart cycling!  Wearing bright colors, lights on bike or trike, helmets and following all traffic laws will help us conduct a safe and enjoyable ride.
