Gather your favorite homies for a celebration of an amazing summer on the trails!

Summer's coming to a close but we can still have one last hurrah. The GVLT NextGen Advisory Board wants to get goofy with you. Don your best costume and pimp out your bike for the 2nd annual Pedal Parade. We'll meet at the GVLT lawn, just north of the office at 212 S. Wallace, and spin around for a short parade in the neighborhood with tunes, hoots, and hollers.

After that, its off to the races. Grab some buddies or find a new friend to set out on your Pedal Parade trail adventure. NextGen members have set up 6 stations on the trails for you to hit within the hour. Each location will award you one raffle ticket and will offer you a bonus raffle ticket for a fun activity or trivia question. Hit the bonus stops farthest from town and you'll get an extra ticket for biking fast and far. Can you do it?

When you arrive back at base camp, drop your earned raffle tickets in the prizes buckets of your choosing (exceptional prize list to be announced soon but think hiking boots, hotel stays, fishing waders etc.). Grab a bite from a food truck and a beer to cool you down.

BONUS: Each participant will be given a dog poop bag. Scoop a poop on your ride and bring it back to base camp for an additional raffle ticket!

*KID FRIENDLY* Multiple trail stations are close enough to the headquarters for little tykes to reach within the time limit. Bring 'em along and let them be part of the challenge! They can drop their earned tickets into the bucket for a special kid's raffle prize

A trophy will be awarded for the best costume and decorated bike. Sillier the better, you'll be in good company.
