G'Knight Ride
For
the month of June, Longmont was officially re-christened “BikeMont.” Seriously!
Perhaps the biggest public display of this deep love of all things two-wheeled
took place last weekend during the second annual G’Knight Ride, when more than
2,000 cyclists young, old and in between took to the streets of the city for a
scenic evening ride.
Put on by Bicycle Longmont (with sponsorship from Oskar Blues Brewery – it’s named after one of their brews), you have three route options
– one mile, three miles and 10+ miles. We were ambitious and chose the 10-mile
route this year – though we hopped off when we cruised past our house in Old
Town.
The ride is really just the beginning of the fun, however. Before and
after in Prospect, there’s a big festival, with kids’ activities, live music
and food trucks. Proceeds go to Bicycle Longmont, so you’re just helping a bike-friendly
town get even bike-friendlier. See you there next year!
