Background:

Mr. Chairman and colleagues, I am inviting you all to attend the fourth annual Tour De Hunter Mill bike event on Sunday, May 5. There will be two routes for this community bike ride:

• Short ride: 16 miles
• Long ride: 27 miles

There is a route for every ability! Every year, we feature new routes to give riders a fresh view and highlight bike friendly areas across the district. This year both routes include a stretch on Fairfax County’s portion of the W&OD Trail — and I’m also excited to report that they take advantage of the newly opened shared-use path along soon-to-be-widened Route 7.

The routes will begin and end at the North County Governmental Center with a rest stop at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens.

Details and registration may be found on the Hunter Mill District webpage.

As an incentive to register, you’ll get a pair of our always-popular branded bike socks. By popular vote, this year’s socks will be green, and the first 160 people who register are guaranteed to get a pair of this year’s green colored socks.

Motion:
Therefore, Mr. Chairman, I ask without objection that the Office of Public Affairs provide promotional support for the 2024 Tour de Hunter Mill as appropriate.
