Bike & Walk Morristown Unveils Corral at Kings on Friday

Earlier this spring, Morristown bikers rejoiced.  The official results for the 2013 Saris Bike Corral Photo Contest were revealed in April with Morristown on top.

This national contest started in March with submitted entries from across the nation and Morristown beat out the final two. 

This Friday, join Bike & Walk Morristown as they celebrate the ribbon cutting ceremony for the Saris bike corral at Kings at 6 p.m. (The flyer says 7 p.m., but the event will start at 6 p.m. with the ribbon cutting, according to Kendra Arnold of Bike & Walk Morristown)

The event continues with the monthly Morristown bike ride fromTown Hall and ends with the second annual Music.Picnic.Art event on the lawn of the Vail Mansion.

The Artist Baker is helping host this annual fundraiser and will be delivering picnic baskets to the lawn. Every picnic dinner ordered from the Artist Baker helps to support Bike & Walk Morristown’s  local projects. Order your picnic basket from the Artist Baker by Tuesday or you can bring your own food and join them at the Vail Mansion.

The event goes until 9 p.m. and includes music, post-riding yoga stretches and more. Go here for more information.
