Parrot Head Ride Set for St. Francisville
From Kathy Duplantis, KFDuplantis@...
The Loyal Order of DisOrder Parrot Head Club of Baton Rouge will be hosting the 9th Annual Bike Ride for the Environment on Sat., Oct. 2, 2004.
The route starts and ends at Mary Ann Brown Nature Preserve (across from The Bluffs). Pre-register ($15) by downloading the Bike Ride form at www.brphc.org or register the day of the 9 a.m. ride ($18) starting at 7:30 a.m. The registration form includes directions or call 225/931-4054.
Registration includes a goody bag, T-shirt, refreshment stops, lunch, drinks and door prizes. Proceeds benefit the Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center and the Nature Conservancy of Louisiana.
This is a 19- or 27-mile route, not a race. It's a nice ride for charity!
