Z Tour registration is open

Event set for July 15

PRINCETON — Registration for the 2017 Z Tour Bike Ride to be held in Princeton on Saturday, July 15, is now open. Riders can save by registering prior to June 16 and join more than 700 cyclists who will enjoy some of the best paved, low-traffic roads that North Central Illinois has to offer.

Cyclists in the Z Tour Bike Ride enjoy well-marked routes, outstanding support at the themed rest stops, Peru Bike Works mechanics and a post-ride meal. Additionally, organizers are planning for local band favorite, 212, to entertain from noon to 3 p.m. at Zearing Park on ride day.

One of the best features of the Z Tour Bike Ride is that there is something for every level of cyclist. Participants can choose from routes of 10, 30, 50, 65 (new), and 100 miles (new).

To register online, visit www.eventbrite.com. Detailed information about the Z Tour Bike Ride can be found on the website, www.z-tour.org or at our Z Tour Bike Ride Facebook page. For specific questions, send an email to ztourinfo@gmail.com.

Proceeds generated from the ride benefit the Zearing Child Enrichment Center, a not-for-profit early childhood education center serving the Princeton area for 44 years.
