Join Trips for Kids Charlotte for the First Annual Trips for Kids Recyclery Ride!  This supported ride is designed for intermediate to upper levels of cycling enthusiasts.  Whether you are a weekend warrior, eager beginner or experienced distance challenger you are invited to join with us in support of our Earn-a-Bike and Trips for Kids Bike Ride program.  Each rider is free to set their own pace, and select the distance they can complete.  In this first annual event we hope to establish a benchmark ride for the Charlotte area and an annual contributor to Trips for Kids Charlotte.  All proceeds will benefit Trips for Kids Charlotte and their Earn-a-bike and Bike Ride programs.
