HOW TO GET INVOLVED

1 Make a note of your mileage

Make a note of your odometer’s figure and write it down or take a picture and post it on the #ride5000mile’s Facebook group. Join the campaign and thousands of like-minded bikers.

2 Ride to some great places

Take that trip you’ve always planned, visit that race meet you’ve always hoped to attend or forget the lawn and head out for a blast. Get weekly updates in the paper.

3 Tell people about it all

Log onto www.facebook.com/ groups/ride5000miles to share stories and routes. You can add your biking friends too. It’s private so we can keep it free of spammers.
