Sunday, October 5, 2008
7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

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.
