Gearing up for July 16 bike ride through Ada

The Bluffton Lions Foundation is ready to host riders in the eighth annual Bluffton Ride to Remember on July 16, 2022, which includes an Ada Loop.

Three loops will be marked and mapped, providing riders rest stops with water, ice and snacks, as well as emergency support. Riders also receive a swag bag with treats from local businesses and a lunch coupon.
