Bicyclists of all levels should oil their gears for "The Alpharetta Century," an inaugural cycling event Saturday, Nov. 1 that will benefit two local organizations.
Wheels will start turning at 8 a.m. at the Milton Center (Old Milton High School) in downtown Alpharetta. Cyclists of all abilities will have several riding options: 35 miles, 62 miles or 100 miles.
A 6-mile family ride is also available to parents and children.
All proceeds will directly benefit two local organizations, the Georgia Transplant Foundation and the Kiwanis Club of Alpharetta. GTF is an organization that provides financial, educational, and emotional support to organ transplant candidates, recipients, and their families throughout the state of Georgia. The Kiwanis Club of Alpharetta is a group of volunteers who sponsor events that help children and youth.
Registration fees to ride in the 100 mile, 62 mile, and 35 mile rides are $35 per person, if received prior to Oct. 24, or $45 dollars including the day of the event.
The 6-mile family ride is $10 per person before Oct. 24 and $15 after, including the day of the event. Children ages 10 and younger can ride free.
The registration fee includes a T-shirt and goodie bag.
