VEG’s 6^th Annual “Trails for TAILS” bike-a-thon

When? Coming at you on Saturday, April 22, starting at 9am (Sunday will be our rain-out day, or the following Saturday if it rains then too.)

Where? East Lagoon, across from the Art building on College Dr. off the bike path. (We will have a table set up so we should be easy to find.)

TAILS (Taking Animals Into Loving Shelter) is the local chapter of the humane society which runs DeKalb County's state-of-the-art animal shelter. Over the past years VEG has raised over $20,000 for TAILS.  Click here for more information about TAILS and the animals they have up for adoption.

In the bike-a-thon we have 10, 20, and 55 mile rides.  The ride is non-competitive.  We will offer some refreshments at some of the turn-around points on the ride.  We advise each rider brings their own water and necessities for the ride.  We will offer a free vegan BBQ at 2:00 pm.  To be back on time for the BBQ, here are some guidelines for departure times: 55 mile riders need to be on the road between 9 and 10 am and 20 mile riders need to be on the road by noon.
