Roll into Ventura’s Eco Fest
by Kevin Clerici
Venturans love to get outside, and Ventura’s burgeoning reputation as a cycling hotspot will get a boost on Saturday, April 27 with a free, family-friendly Community Ride. The ride, which is open to all ages and cycling abilities, will begin at the Channel Islands National Park Visitors Center in the Ventura Harbor at 8:30 am and end at the Earth Day Eco Fest at Plaza Park in Downtown.The Eco Fest has a free bike valet, live entertainment, food, and games. So it’s a great finishing point.
The 6-mile ride is appropriate for all skill levels. Most of the route is on dedicated bike lanes and within earshot of the Pacific Ocean. The ride’s purpose is to connect local people with community leaders, celebrate Earth Day, communicate information about City bike paths, and advertise the Amgen Tour of California Stage Start at the Ventura Pier on May 16.
“If you love to get outside,” said Kevin Clerici, co-chair of the Amgen Tour Local Organizing Committee. “This is a great day to get the heart pumping, get a little sea breeze in your nose and have a lot of fun.”
