Welcome to Bike Tioga - 2008 |
Calling all bicyclists! Get out your wheels as the Owego Rotary Club and Tioga County Tourism Office sponsors the 6th Annual “Bike-Tioga” bicycle event on August 9 and 10, 2008 beginning at Hickories Park, Pavilion #1, Owego, NY. The Bike Tioga event is a Rotary Club and Tourism Office service provided to the community to enhance our quality of life, promote healthy living, and encourage visitors to experience Tioga County.
This event provides experienced and non-experienced bicycle riders with the choice of rides ranging from 20 to 100 miles on Saturday, and 20 to 61 miles on Sunday.
Since this is not a race, riders will have the opportunity to stop along the ride for rest and refreshments. Rides include flat to hilly terrain dependent on the ride selected. Stops could also include visits to select tourism attractions along the way. Riders may also visit the Newark Valley Depot Days celebration on Saturday, and the En-Plein Air Arts Festival in Owego on Sunday.
Food will be available after the rides for a donation. Interested participants may also call the Tioga County Tourism Office at 607-687-7440 / 1-800-671-7772 or email for more information.
