Support the Greenway with a ride on Jekyll Island next month — Nov 28!

What better way to experience Jekyll Island’s Christmas celebration than to be cruising through the historic neighborhoods on your own “clean green machine,” namely, your bicycle. No combustible engines. No rolled up windows, isolating you from really experiencing the celebration of Christmas lights. No, just you, your family, and several of your closest friends, pedaling peacefully through our colorful history, illuminated with the brilliant colors of the season.

The Jingle Bell Ride, scheduled for Saturday, November 28th at 9:30am, is an eighteen mile, casual, family ride around Jekyll Island. The one to three hour ride will be held in conjunction with the Jekyll Island Christmas Tree lighting Festival. The festival includes a tree-lighting in front of the historic Jekyll island club hotel, holiday crafts, family fun, delicious food, and outstanding Christmas decorations.

The ride is being held to offer a fun family activity, and to promote not only Jekyll Island, but also the Coastal Georgia Greenway, which when complete, will offer pedalers and hikers in Georgia paved paths from south in St. Marys north to Savannah, ultimately part of the East Coast Greenway connecting 3000 miles between Maine and Key West.

Online preregistration is available here!
