The Batesville Parks and Recreation Department is leading a Bike Batesville program free to the public each Thursday for the rest of the summer.
Join us every Thursday evening, we will meet in the South Parking lot of the Community Center at 6:30 PMand the ride will start at 6:45 PM. Everyone is invited (ages 10 & up). This is a free program. We will ride approximately 10 miles and should take around and hour and a half to complete. Every Thursday starting on 7/19 through the last Thursday in August (8/30).
This is a beginner friendly bike ride, it’s not a race so we will be take our time, enjoy the ride, the people, and all the great scenery… It’s a family ride so come join the fun and bring all your friends! Please bring a helmet, to keep everyone safe they are mandatory for the ride.
We encourage all of our riders that participate to stay connected. You can do so by joining our Batesville Parks Facebook group, Bike Batesville. Also, be sure to check out some of the other free programs offered by Batesville Parks and Recreation through our Batesville Parks Facebook page.
