This year’s event, raising money for the Solon Centennial Lions Club, will be held Saturday morning starting at the Lake Macbride Golf Course and winding through and around Lake Macbride State Park.
SOLON — Over hill, over dale, along what might be a soggy trail, adventurous cyclists will go rolling along Saturday as the 8th annual Lake Macbride Fat Tire Classic gets underway. The event, the primary fundraiser for the Solon Centennial Lions Club, will see up to 250 registered participants piloting their “fat tire (3.8” or wider)” bikes along either a 15 or 30-mile course around and through Lake Macbride State Park on the trails and snowmobile and ski trails.
The action starts at 9:00 a.m. with the Lake Macbride Fat Tire Classic 30-mile races for adults, youth 18 and under, and three-person teams. At 10:30 a.m. the Lake Macbride Fat Tire 15-mile races will begin for adults and youth 18 and under.
All races start and end at the Lake Macbride Golf Course.
