2024 Landline Greenway Ride Series

May - September 2024

2024 MAPC Landline Greenway Ride Series

Please join MAPC and our many partners this summer to explore, celebrate, and advocate for a regional network of trails and greenways! 

Each afternoon bike ride is designed to experience new greenways and/or learn about new or proposed projects.  We will make multiple stops to hear from people representing groups and municipalities that are working to expand the network.  The ride will typically end at a location for post ride eats or drinks. 

This page will be updated regularly as dates may change or new events are added.  Please check back often for the latest information.  

Questions? Please contact: David Loutzenheiser (dloutzenheiser@mapc.org).
