Unfortunately, we have decided the True Grit Bike Ride will have to be canceled due to the continued public health and economic impact of the COVID-19. Saying that we will miss you is an understatement, but it’s the right thing to do.

We hope you will join us on June 18 & 19, 2021 for the 10th annual True Grit bike ride and 5k. Until then keep riding and enjoying the great outdoors within the guidelines set forth by the healthcare experts.

This bike ride was a fundraiser for the Community Services Clearinghouse. The money raised is used for the Meals for Kids backpack program. We purchase food for 2200 at-risk children who would otherwise go hungry over the weekend. We also provide food to cancer patients undergoing treatment, as well as senior citizens, the disabled, and individuals/families in need of a helping hand.

All current registrations for the bike ride and 5k will automatically be deferred to the June 18 & 19, 2021 True Grit Bike Ride. Registrants will receive instructions on deferrals.
