MASON, Mich. — Participation fees have been changed to encourage more people to come out for the inaugural Mason Area Fireworks Fun Bike Ride event the morning of Saturday, June 29, 2019. “There will no longer be a $5 increase as we get closer to the event,” says Hannah Warvel, program assistant at the Chamber. The rides will start and end at Mason High School, 1001 S. Barnes Street.
Hosted by the Mason Firefighters Association and the Mason Area Chamber of Commerce, this first-ever fun bike ride event is set to run on paved streets and roads through mid-Michigan’s Ingham County, including historic Mason, Dansville, Leslie, and surrounding townships. Net proceeds help support the Mason Firefighters Association annual fireworks display on the 4th of July, as well as the Mason Area Chamber of Commerce's parades and other community events.
To participate, you may register either online or in person. Go to the websitewww.masonchamber.org and click on Events and then on the June 29 Fireworks Fun Bike Ride. For those enthusiastic cyclists, the registration fee is $30. You may choose which route you want to participate in advance or on the morning of the event.
Routes are planned for all levels of cyclists. For enthusiastic cyclists, there is a 10-mile, 25-mile and 50-mile fun ride. There will be snack and water stations along each of those routes. Families with children may enjoy the special 3-mile family loop and spend a more leisurely morning together.
For the family loop, the registration fee is $10 per person or $25 per family in advance or on the date of the event. There will be a limited number of Fireworks Fun Bike Ride shirts in limited sizes available to purchase at check-in while they last.
