YMCA to host a community-wide indoor bike ride

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Organizers are preparing for a community-wide indoor bike ride to supoort programs to improve health and wellness across Indianapolis. 

The YMCA of Greater Indianapolis has expanded its Cycle-a-Thon event to 12 centers.

It’s a one-day event taking place on February 23 where organizers say participants will sign up for hour-long sessions to ride in a party atmosphere.

Anthony Ripley, the wellness director for the Jordan YMCA, stopped by Daybreak Friday.

He discussed this year’s third annual Cycle-A-Thon and the ways the event encourages riders of all ages and abilities to take part.

The event raised more than $50,000 in 2018 that went to financial assistance for Y memberships and programs.
