On Sunday October 6, 2024 the Lifeline 100 Bicycle Event will celebrate its 10th Anniversary! The Lifeline 100 showcases Anne Arundel County’s scenic trails and roadways, teaches cycling awareness, safety and its benefits, and has grown every year to draw hundreds of cyclists and supporters from around the Mid-Atlantic.
The event raises funds to support local non-profits, including the Crisis Response System, Anne Arundel Food Bank, and BikeAAA. It is expected to draw 1,000 riders this year. ABC has been a major contributor to its success since the first Lifeline 100 in 2014.
ABC members staff the four major rest stops for the Lifeline century and metric routes. This is the primary opportunity for us to give back to the cycling community, supporting BikeAAA’s advocacy on behalf of cyclists, and to help promote our Club.
We need about 35 volunteers to staff the four major rest stops and the Century Route water stops:
o Bay Ridge Swim Club - Jennifer Meyers, Captain
o Crofton Park - LJ Reiter, Captain
o Dixon Observation Area (at BWI) - Tina McDermott, Captain
o Galesville Wharf waterfront park - Steve Graham, Captain
· We need two volunteers to handle two water stops to support riders on the Century Route. The locations are on Rutland Road by the Route 50 overpass and at Davidsonville Park pavilion.
Please volunteer by contacting the ABC Lifeline volunteer coordinator, Jim Black, either by e-mail at JamesMBlack@gmail.com, 202-320-7932, or at a club ride.
Please let us know if you're flexible to work at any rest stop, or whether you prefer to work at a particular rest stop. The event date is Sunday, October 6, 2024.
On Saturday, September 28th, ABC will be doing a pre-ride of both the century and metric courses, so mark your calendars and come out and ride the course one weekend and then join your fellow ABCers to staff the rest stops the following weekend.
Thank you !
