"City to City" tour in Kansas City October 1st

Steve Rhoades of Kansas City's MetroGreen Alliance sent this message:

Join us for the first City-to-City Tour of the Kansas City Region sponsored by the Mid-America Regional Council. The event will promote MetroGreen, the regional vision for an interconnected greenway and trail system.

Participants are encouraged to ride at their own pace as it is not a timed event. All participants must wear a helmet. Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a responsible parent or guardian (or other designee) on the route.

The event will begin on the Riverfront Heritage Trail in Richard L Berkley Riverfront Park, at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 1, 2005.

Cyclists can choose between two routes: an 11-mile loop or a 23-mile route that tours many of the historic areas in both Kansas City, Missouri, and Kansas City, Kansas. Each route follows two scenic byways, the Riverfront Heritage Trail, and passes by many historic and cultural points of interest that help shape our two downtowns. See route map >>

The roads will be clearly marked but not blocked off. Participants will cycle on the streets along with regular vehicular traffic and must obey all traffic signals and signs.

Volunteers are needed to help with promotion and registration, as well as handing out refreshments and directing bicyclists along both routes of the City-to-City tour. For more information, or to volunteer, please contact Steve Rhoades at srhoades@marc.org , or call 816/701-8281.
