Sunday, September 23 Walk & Roll Cleveland - Former Lakewood resident Lois Moss organized Walk & Roll Cleveland, which took place for the first time on two Sundays in 2006. Martin Luther King Blvd., which meanders through Cleveland's Rockefeller Park and the Cultural Gardens, was closed to motorized traffic allowing residents to enjoy, explore and play in the culturally diverse neighborhoods near University Circle. Enjoy the final 2007 installment of Walk & Roll Cleveland as the trees just start to display fall color. Also on Sept. 23.... Red Ribbon Ride Ohio As a prelude to Walk+Roll, bicyclists of all ages and abilities will explore Cleveland and the Lake Erie shoreline on Sunday, September 23 for the inaugural Red Ribbon Ride Ohio. This bicycle event, which features 5, 15 and 25 miles routes, will benefit the nonprofit agencies supported by AIDS Walk Cleveland. All rides will begin and end in Rockefeller Park on MLK Jr. Drive in Cleveland’s University Circle area. Check-in begins at 8am and the rides start at 9am. The shortest segment will be in the traffic-free Rockefeller Park, making it perfect for families with children. The 15 and 25 mile routes will highlight parks and greenspace along the Lake Erie shoreline. Stops for food and fun are scheduled at points of interest along the way. The routes will also take cyclists past a number of residential projects now sprouting in and near downtown Cleveland. Riders will be supported by bicycle mechanics from Century Cycles and Eddys Bicycle Shops. Registration is open at www.firstgiving.com/aidswalkcleveland and ranges from $15-$25 which is donated to the AIDS Walk Cleveland. The first 200 pre-registered riders will receive goody bags with coupons and promotional items. Non-riders and those who have completed the route will be encouraged to enjoy the rest of their Sunday at Walk+Roll Cleveland (see above), which will include entertainment and a wealth of activities throughout the day.
