The Gateway to Glacier Trail organization will hold its inaugural Pedal For Paths fundraiser on Saturday, Sept. 21. The nonprofit is seeking funds to build a bike path connecting Coram to West Glacier along U.S. 2.

Cyclists can enjoy a gentle family bike ride along a beautiful 7-mile stretch of the lower South Fork Road or a more vigorous 30-mile ride along Hungry Horse Reservoir’s West Side Road to Lid Creek, which includes a 4-mile climb to Hungry Horse Dam.

Two cycling clinics will be available — a bike safety presentation for riders of all abilities and a talk about road climbing techniques by noted local competitive cyclists. Riders will start at 10 a.m. on the lower section South Fork Access Road for a group ride celebration of Pedal for Paths.

Pre-registration is available online at www.gatewaytoglaciertrail.com or http://usacycling.org/events/?state=MT, which includes an event T-shirt and grab bag for only $25 per adult or $15 for youths with the pre-registration discount. Deadline is Sept. 18. Riders can also register on the day of the event.
