End location: Ride ends at Cully Park, but ride leader will be riding back to the Springwater Corridor
The 70s Bikeway will soon be complete, and here's a bike ride that not only follows that route but also has a 1970s theme. The 9-mile ride follows quiet neighborhood streets starting at Cartlandia and ending at Cully Park with its panoramic vistas. There are many fashion trends from the 1970s to choose between for the ride. The cover photo shows the popularity of all-white clothing after John Travolta's performance in "Saturday Night Fever" and short shorts were popular enough that they made TV commercials about them. This weekend in July is also the anniversary of the classic cycling movie "Breaking Away" and you can check that out on YouTube for some added inspiration. Bonus points if you've got a bike from the 1970s 10-speed craze!
