Bike enthusiasts from all over the state and country take to the streets and roadways of Livingston County on Sunday, Oct. 7, 2018, as the 11th annual Howell Rotary Tour De Livingston rolls out.
The fully supported biking event begins at the Mt. Brighton Ski Area, 4141 Bauer Road in Brighton. It’s expected that up to 800 cyclists will ride through Livingston County during peak autumn colors, pedaling throughout the community, as well as Kensington Metropark, Island Lake Recreation Area, and the GM Proving Grounds in Milford (exclusive only to Tour de Livingston).
Online registration continues until midnight Friday at www.tourdelivingston.org.
Registration begins at 7 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 7, and the ride launches from Mt. Brighton at 8 a.m. Registration is $40 in advance and $50 the day of the ride, and includes a warm breakfast and lunch, hospitality stops along the way, and a chance to win a Jamis brand Gravel Grinder bike.
Bikers looking to give back to their community in a larger way can sign up to become a Jersey Guy or Gal. These riders, who raise $250 or more in pledges, receive a special Tour de Livingston commemorative 2018 bicycling jersey (which was designed in collaboration with the Howell High School design class), 10 entries for the bike give-away, a free registration into the event, and a long-sleeve 2018 sport T-shirt.
One-hundred percent of the proceeds help transform the quality of life for struggling local working families through focused programs and initiatives via the Livingston County United Way.
The Howell Rotary Club has been serving the community since 1924. The mission of Rotary is to serve the community while promoting harmony and good will throughout the world. Howell Rotary meets for lunch every Monday at the Howell Public School Administration building. Join us to learn more.
