This Father’s Day Weekend we invite you (along with your favorite ride-along crew) to join us on the Banks-Vernonia Trail! With several distance options to choose from, this is a ride for the novice as well as experienced cyclists. A hosted lunch (included with your $35 registration fee) will be served to riders between 11:30am and 1:00pm at the Anderson Park Pavillion in Vernonia, OR.
(For those who hope to just join us for lunch and to cheer on riders… there is a lunch only registration option!)
Start in Vernonia, or make the lunch stop your turn around point, we look forward to seeing you on the trail. PeDal Support encourages people with Parkinson’s to ride for the fun of it and experience the benefits of cycling with this disease.
