Bicyclists of all ages and abilities will explore Cleveland and the Lake Erie shoreline for the inaugural Red Ribbon Ride Ohio. The bicycle event, which features 5, 15 and 25 miles routes, will benefit the nonprofit agencies supported by AIDS Walk Cleveland and increase awareness of HIV/AIDS in Northeast Ohio.
The ride is a partnership between AIDS Walk and Walk+Roll Cleveland, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the exploration and discovery of Cleveland's Rockefeller Park and the Cultural Gardens. On select Sundays in 2007, Rockefeller Park has been open to walkers, bicycles, rollerblades, strollers, hikers, wheelchairs, and runners—allowing everyone to enjoy, explore and play in the culturally diverse neighborhoods near University Circle - by closing a 2-mile section of MLK Jr Drive to cars. Red Ribbon Ride Ohio will take place on Sunday September 23, the last Walk+Roll Cleveland of 2007.
Registration is open at www.firstgiving.com/aidswalkcleveland and ranges from $15-$25 which is donated to the AIDS Walk Cleveland. The first 200 pre-registered riders will receive goody bags with coupons and promotional items.
