May is Bike Month: BikeWalkSolana Events for 2023
May is Bike Month and you're invited to be part of the celebration!
Tour of Solana Beach Community Ride
Join BikeWalkSolana for the third Tour of Solana Beach Community Ride on Sunday, May 7. Starting at La Colonia Park at 10 AM, the group will pedal through the lovely neighborhoods of Solana Beach at a leisurely pace. This 13.7 mile ride will be led by qualified ride monitors. Previous tours had well over 100 people of all ages joined this family friendly event. Even more are expected this year, so come early (by 9:45) to register. You must wear a helmet. Bring your own water and snacks. Be sure that your bike is in good working condition: ABC = Air (inflated tires), Brakes (working ones), and Chain (lubricated). You might win a raffle prize!
Please pre-register for the ride, especially youth under 18 who may be riding without a parent. Click here to download the waiver for the ride, print, sign and either scan and email to admin@bikewalksolana.org or bring signed to the event. Parents must add their youth’s name and sign. Adults leave the youth line blank. This will save time checking in on Sunday May 7th as well as enable youth to ride even if their parents can’t make it.
