Description
The Ability Tour is an inclusive bicycle ride dedicated to raising awareness for people of ALL abilities. Proceeds from the Ability Tour will go toward equipping other recreational events and activities with the resources and accommodations to make events more accessible to ALL individuals.
The historic Quadrennial Ability Tour offers an 8, 30, or 50 mile loop (ride it twice and get your century) that begins at Peckham, Inc. in Lansing and quickly gets you into some scenic roads. The roads are well marked (we have been told they are the best marked routes in the state) and bicycle friendly. SAG services and aid stations will be available along the routes.
Cycling assistive technology and training will be available throughout the morning. Come try a handcycle, a tricycle, or try a tandem with an experienced captain who is trained to teach riders with a variety of disabilities.
Lunch is sponsored by Chipotle and will be available following the ride.
