Tour de Belleville deadline approaching

The third annual Tour de Belleville ride is set to roll at 9 p.m. Friday, July 11, and you have until this Saturday, July 5, to sign up online at the regular price of $15. After that, the cost of the ride goes up to $25 a person.

In addition to online registration, you can sign up at the Bicycle World bike shop, 4516 W. Main St. in Belleville, where a registration party is planned for Saturday.

Outback Steakhouse will be sponsoring a picnic meal before the ride, from 6 to 8 p.m. Tickets are available at Bicycle World or the Belleville Parks and Recreation office at 1105 Laderman Ave.

This year's Tour de Belleville will feature routes of 5 to 17 miles. Proceeds from the ride will be used to purchase stoplights to be installed on the Belleville bike path to insure the safety of those hundreds of people that ride the bike path every day. After the ride, participants will receive a free ice cream treat.
