NOTICES FOR RIDERS

PART OF RIVERVIEW ROAD CLOSED: Construction of a roundabout has Riverview Road closed at Smith Road, about a mile north of the Merriman Road and Portage Path intersection. This does not affect any of the cycling routes, but participants traveling north to Howe Meadow from Akron should instead take Akron-Peninsula Road to Ira Road, turn left onto Ira and then right on Riverview Road.

WHEN TO GET THERE: 63-mile riders leave Howe Meadow between 7:30 and 9 a.m. 25-mile riders leave between 9 and 10:30 a.m. 10-mile riders leave between 10:30 a.m. and noon. No riders shall leave Howe Meadow before 7:30. Remember, STOMP is not a race, so take your time and have fun.

DON'T FORGET: We have live music by Nathan Hedges from 1 to 3 p.m., appearances by Cheeks the chipmunk and Acme Fresh Market's Buck the dog, and on-site displays from the Akron Zoo, Metro Parks, 91.3 The Summit and more. And be sure to stop by the Cascade Subaru tent to register to WIN two new Raleigh Detour bikes from Century Cycles! No purchase necessary.
