Ormond Beach New Year Family Cycling Festival

To be held Jan 9, at the Casements/Rockefeller Gardens Park on Riverside Drive, this year's 2nd annual Ormond Beach New Year Family Cycling Festival will be sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Ormond Beach.

Usually "bike" events don't mean the 2-wheel manual type, but this Ormond Beach Florida festival offers something for "real" cyclists down to tricycle riders. For the serious cyclists, the Seashore Century Ride features two segments starting at 8 a.m. -- the Metric Century with 62 miles and the Metric Half Century with 31 miles. Those pre-registering by Jan. 4 ride for $25. On-site registration is $30 beginning at 7 a.m. Jan. 9. For children and families, the festival also will offer tricycle and Big Wheel races for ages 5 and younger as well as two- and four-mile family rides beginning at 9 a.m.

The event is designed to appeal to all ages. Children ride and receive lunch for $15 per child; parents ride free and may purchase lunch. On-site registration begins at 8:30 a.m. Outback Steakhouse will provide lunch to registered riders while those just stopping by for the activities also will be able to purchase lunch if they choose. Sandy Fraser-Kiefer and her VanGo Mobile Museum will be on hand and there will be face-painting and other family-oriented activities. The Ormond Beach Fire Department will display a fire engine and firefighters will provide safety talks.

This is a major fundraiser for the Kiwanis Club, and proceeds will be donated to several childen's organizations and area schools. Mark Jan. 9 on your calendar and come join the fun.
