Grab your helmets, because Bike Tioga 2010 is just around the corner! For those who aren’t familiar with Bike Tioga, it is an organized two day cycling event on August 7th and 8th in Owego, NY.
Bike Tioga is a family friendly event for people of all ages and experience levels. Whether you are a seasoned pro or just looking to get some fun exercise for the weekend, we welcome you! There are 7 different rides to choose from throughout the weekend, ranging from 26 to 100 miles on Saturday and 25 to 60 miles on Sunday. Since this is not a race, cyclists will have the opportunity to stop along the ride for rest and refreshments. Rides include a variety of terrain from flat to hilly and go through southern New York State, Northern Pennsylvania, Tioga County, and Tompkins County depending on the route selected. All riders will be given a map and there will be clear road markings along each route.
Each ride leaves as a group from Marvin Park pavilion #6 at a designated time and will return back there by 4:00pm later in the day. There will be food available after the ride as well as free 10 minute massages and on Saturday there will also be musical entertainment.
All participants receive Bike Tioga t-shirts and those who register before August 4th will also receive free water bottles.
Registering for this event costs only $15 per day or $20 for both days if registered before August 4th. You can now register online with PayPal or credit card or mail/fax the registration form to the Tioga County Tourism office. The registration form can be found on our website.
