Mark your calendars! This year, Bike Your Park Day falls on Saturday, September 23, and it’s an opportunity you won’t want to miss. The event, organized by Adventure Cycling Association, offers an exciting way to explore parks and public lands—by bicycle!
You know that riding a bike is a great way to connect with the world around you. Bike Your Park Day is a good excuse to explore public parks and lands, riding on roads, paved bike paths, or rugged single-track trails to enjoy a spectacular view or immerse yourself in a historical site.
The best part? It’s completely free to join here! Share your joy and journey with friends and the broader community by tagging @adventurecycling and using the hashtag #BikeYourPark on social media.
Did you know that September 23 is also National Public Lands Day, the largest single-day volunteer effort for America’s public lands? Why not double the impact of your day by volunteering for a stewardship project? The Friends of the Mountain Vernon Trail are a great local organization that augments the National Park Service in taking care of one of the jewels in the region’s trail network.
So why wait? Make your plans now and let’s all hit the trails, the roads, and the bike paths on September 23. It’s your day to give back to parks and public lands while enjoying the unbeatable freedom of exploring them by bicycle.
