NEW PELOTONIA ROUTE INCLUDES LICKING COUNTY

This year, for the first time, the Central Ohio Pelotonia Bike Event will travel through a large portion of Licking County. The event is planned for Saturday and Sunday, August 11th and 12th. The route travels up from Pickerington, through western Licking County to New Albany, and then returns eastward through Jersey Township, St. Albans Township and into Granville. It then turns north up Loudon Street, travels into McKean Township. The route then splits into two optional routes. One goes into Hartford, the other goes through Burlington and Washington Townships into Utica. Ultimately, the bikers finish in Gambier on Sunday. Thousands of participants are expected for this event which raises funds in the battle with cancer. Residents of western Licking County should be aware of this major event that weekend. A large contingent of security and medical personnel will be on our local roads in support of this event.
