Get out
the bicycle and enjoy the Third Annual Heights Bicycle Rally and Scavenger Hunt on Sunday, October
5, 2008. The rally will start and end at the fire station on 12th and
Yale Streets. This is not a race! This self-paced event
will start at 7:30 AM when participants will receive a
packet containing a rally card, map and scavenger hunt clue
list. This year participants will cycle a 20-mile course on City of Houston bike trails going
through the Heights, Montrose, Morningside, Southampton,
Braeswood, Medical Center, Hermann Park, Midtown, Downtown
and Norhill.
There will be two check point/water stations.
The rally card must be validated by a rally volunteer at
each check point in order for the participant to be eligible
for prizes. Both the completed clue list and the rally card
must be turned in by 4 PM. Rally will end with a
party. Plan to celebrate with food, soft drinks and music
while awards are announced and door prizes given! Awards
will be given in both Adult and Youth categories. Award in
the Scavenger Hunt goes to the participant who finds the
most mystery objects along the course.
