The ride will start at the Lawrence Lake Marina at approximately 11:00 a.m. and will follow the Mississippi river, ending at the Shelhorn Bar and Grill.
“Regardless of your chosen mode of transportation, car, boat, or bike, a route will be planned for you,” said Donna. She added: “Maps will be available the day of the ride.”
There will be lunch specials planned along the way.
