Celebrate a once in a lifetime Birthday 1806 - 2006 at Rome Bicentennial Days. 

One of the many things that we will be doing that day is taking a 14.5-mile bike ride.

The ride will start off at 9:15 a.m. at the Rome Fire Hall.  The tour will include the Roaming Shores area.

The cost  is $15 person, and riders will receive a visor hat and a voucher for eating breakfast prior to the ride, then have lunch after the ride.

1. Minimum age requirement is 12 years old.
2. Pre-registration is required.  Contact Margie Darling (440) 563-5301.
3. Riders will be required to sign a disclaimer and release form and pay the $15.  (Look for the table that has the sign Rome Bicentennial Bike Ride.)
