About the Heritage Explorer Bike Tour
LHVA and Leadership Lackawanna are partnering to launch the first annual "Heritage Explorer Bike Tour" on June 5, 2010. A project of the Leadership Lackawanna class of 2009-2010, the event will offer participants the opportunity to experience the region's natural beauty and history as they ride the beautiful Lackawanna River Heritage Trail. The event is open to all riders. It will have routes for beginners, seniors, and families with small children, as well as more challenging courses for experienced cyclists.
The Heritage Explorer Bike Tour weekend features two events:
Friday, June 4th - A Kick-Off Party at the Electric City Trolley Museum in Scranton will feature event registration, raffle prizes, specialty foods and beverages, and a signature Heart to Art mural for participants to paint.
Saturday, June 5th - The Heritage Explorer Bike Tour will begin and end at Mellow Park in the Borough of Blakely. Participants will receive a breakfast and a light lunch, course maps, and an opportunity to paint on the Heart to Art mural. The event will feature four round-trip tours of 5 miles, 10 miles, 20 miles, and 40+ miles. As a special bonus, participants will receive discounts for several area cultural and historic attractions that can be used on Sunday, June 6th.
