The Cyclists of Greene (COG) invite everyone to their next full moon bike ride tomorrow.
The monthly bike rides are on the Raccoon River Valley Trail. It starts at the Jefferson Depot and heads south to Cooper, which is about eight miles, before heading back to Jefferson. COG President and Jefferson Mayor Craig Berry says the rides are fun and it provides a unique experience.
“We usually get a pretty good group that goes out there and we ride down to Cooper in the light and then come back in the dark when the moon comes up. There’s a lot of wildlife that comes out at night and we kind of keep on eye on that and watch for that stuff. But it’s a lot of fun.”
Participants are required to have a functioning bike light and wear a helmet. It will be on Saturday, August 29th at 6:50pm. The full moon bike rides are free and open to the public.
