Peninsula OH (January 19, 2009) – Century Cycles kicks off its 14th year of Century Cycles Night Rides on the Towpath Trail on Saturday, April 25, 2009, helping northeast Ohioans experience one of their favorite bicycle paths in a whole new way – by moonlight.
Century Cycles Night Rides on the Towpath Trail are free group bicycle rides at night along the Towpath Trail in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Led and supported by Century Cycles staff, each moderately-paced ride is approximately 15-20 miles long and takes about two hours. Open to all skill levels, a Century Cycles Night Ride is a fun family outing, a unique date night, or a just a great bicycle ride with friends.
The 2009 schedule of Century Cycles Night Rides on the Towpath Trail is: Saturday, April 25; Saturday, May 16; Friday, June 5; Saturday, June 27; Friday, July 10; Saturday, July 25; Saturday, August 8; Friday, August 28; Saturday, September 19; and Friday, October 9.
All Century Cycles Night Rides begin at 8:00 p.m. Meet at Century Cycles’ Peninsula store (1621 Main Street, on Route 303 between Route 8 and I-271, next to the Winking Lizard Tavern). Parking is available at the Lock 29 Trailhead, just north of the store. Helmets and bike lights are required. Children 15 years old and younger must be accompanied by an adult.

“After 14 years, Century Cycles Night Rides on the Towpath Trail are more popular than ever, with each ride averaging 75 – 100 people riding everything from tandems to mountain bikes,” says Scott Cowan, owner of Century Cycles. “It’s a thrill to help people discover the joys of riding a bicycle at night. I recommend folks plan to arrive early – to have plenty of time to get ready for the ride – and plan to leave late, since the group usually ends up at the Winking Lizard after the ride, trading stories of past cycling adventures.”
