The West Windsor Bicycle and Pedestrian Alliance invites cyclists of all ages to join the third in the series of casual summer rides on Saturday, August 18. The destination of the “Bugs and Bikes” ride is the Plainsboro Preserve, 80 Scotts Corner Road, Plainsboro, where participants can opt to take part in the family nature program for $5.
Meet at West Windsor Community Park tennis courts (off the North Mill Road entrance) for a 12-mile roundtrip ride at 2:15 p.m. or at Town Center School for 5-mile roundtrip ride at 2:45 p.m. Walkers are also welcome and should arrive at the preserve by 3:15 p.m.
Quiet streets and bike paths will be used as much as possible. Those on the 12-mile ride should be comfortable riding on slightly busier streets.
The preserve’s nature program begins at 3:30 p.m. and pre-registration for that program is recommended (609-897-9400). Those who choose not to take part can take a casual walk around the preserve. There no biking allowed in the preserve.
There is no charge for the WWBPA ride, nor is pre-registration necessary. Just bring a bike in good working order and a helmet. Children under 13 should be accompanied by an adult. Check wwbpa.org or Facebook for any changes. The rain date for this ride is Sunday, August 19.
Upcoming trips are planned for Saturday, September 15, to loop around West Windsor from Community Park down the Trolley Line Trail and along Penn-Lyle Road. The Saturday, October 6, ride will be down the D&R Canal to the start of the Lawrence Hopewell Trail.
