Collar City Ramble 2016

posted Sep 19, 2016

collar city ramble logoThe Collar City Ramble -- an "alternative transportation festival" -- is back in Troy this Saturday, September 24. Festival blurbage:

Organizers of the Collar City Ramble festival encourage people of all ages to explore Troy's urban trails by foot, bicycle, wheelchair, kayak, or any number of other means of getting around in this celebration of people moving under their own power.
The day is filled with walking and biking group tours, self-guided tours, kayak rides, bike safety classes and a geocaching expedition. Even life-long residents of Troy may discover places they've never seen in their own city. Events are free unless otherwise indicated.
"This year's Ramble is most inline with the goals of Transport Troy and the City of Troy in terms of offering as many different opportunities for alternative transportation as possible. Whether you're walking or biking, whether you are a citizen with disabilities or are really engaged in water sports like kayaking, there are opportunities for all of those elements," said Will Malcolm, food access manager for Capital Roots and Transport Troy Co-Chair. "That's really what we have been working toward, as an organization and as a city."

The festival websie (linked above) has the schedule, with categories for different modes of transportation -- bike, water, and trails.

There will also be free rides on CDTA in a loop connecting the various festival locations.
