The shorter route is named the “Brian Angle 24-Mile Ride” in honor of the late dedicated cyclist who was known for his encouragement and aid to novice riders. Angle called Biscuits, for creating Mac’s Harpeth Bikes’ Biscuit And Back rides for beginning riders on Saturday mornings. Part of Ride The Vines’ proceeds will go to the Brian Angle Leadership Award at Marshall University, his alma mater.

RTV1Rain or shine, the event begins with a staggered start of the two routes at 8 a.m. Brunch will be provided afterward at Samary. The first 250 registrants, 21 and older, will receive a commemorative bottle of wine.
