Pedal to Plate highlights farms, local history
Mother Nature smiled on the Mission Valley Area Pedal to Plate bike ride, held Saturday, Sept. 21. The weather was sunny but a bit crisp at starting time and slowly warmed up as the day progressed.
The event began at 9 a.m. with coffee served at the Diamond S RV Park on the north end of Ronan before riders headed out onto the Lake County roads. The ride is capped at 175 cyclists, and the route this year was 47 miles with seven of those miles on dirt or gravel.
“The ride highlighted local farms and local points of interest,” said Pedal to Plate organizer Janet Sucha. She and the other ride planners sought to recognize tribal contributions and make sure bikers realized they were riding on Flathead Reservation land.
