Pajama Party Night Ride returns on June 7!

On Saturday, June 7, our regularly-scheduled Night Ride on the Towpath Trail will be transformed into a Pajama Party Night Ride!

The free event festivities begin at 7:00pm with cycle-your-own-smoothies and glow-in-the-dark goodies in the parking lot of the Century Cycles store in Peninsula, plus a few games of "Spin the Water Bottle for Cycling Truth or Dare." Pajama-clad bicyclists will depart on the Night Ride from the parking lot at 8:00pm.

At the 14-mile bicycle ride's halfway point, there will be slumber party snacks (popcorn, cookies and Twizzlers). After the ride, bicyclists are welcome to gather in the Peninsula Winking Lizard party room to trade bicycling (and ghost) stories.

Are you signed up for the Rust Belt Battle?

The National Bike Challenge is a free and friendly competition that encourages all people to get out and ride, whether as daily commuters, weekend warriors, or somewhere in between. People on bikes log their miles throughout the summer at RustBeltBattle.org, NationalBikeChallenge.org, or through one of the approved mobile apps and compete as individuals, teams, workplaces, and cities against others locally and across the country.

The Challenge officially began on May 1st (ending September 30), but it's not too late to register now! Invite your friends to get in on the action by registering and logging miles so we can dominate Pittsburgh in the Rust Belt Battle of the Bikes and bring the Rust Cup back to Cleveland!

Once you register, it's easy to create or join your workplace and team. Don't have a team? You can join the Century Cycles team! Just search for "Century Cycles" in the team selection box on your Account page.
