INDEPENDENCE DAY RIDE

(Tour de Lorain County)

Ride early, meet, eat, chat, and scat.  Be on your way by mid-morning to pursue your personal holiday celebrations.

Dear Silver Wheelers, It is with great pleasure that we invite you to our annual July 4th breakfast ride. This year's event will take place at the Cooper Community Resources Center in Oberlin, located at 500 E. Lorain St. Parking is available on the east side of the building. The club will be providing delicious flat bread breakfast sandwiches from Subway and refreshing coffee for all attendees. The side door will open at 7 a.m. for those who wish to deliver additional food items to share. Please note that heating or refrigeration facilities will not be available, so you must bring your own method of warming or cooling your contribution if needed. This ride promises to be an All Star event, with ride leaders catering to various star levels. Rides will commence at 7:30 a.m., For those who prefer to socialize and enjoy the delectable spread, the serving line will open at 10 a.m. Whether you plan to participate in the ride or simply join us for the festivities, we kindly request that you use the registration link below to confirm your attendance. We look forward to celebrating this joyous occasion with you on the 4th of July. Registration
