TO THE MOON AND BACK: The Lawrence Hopewell Trail’s annual moonlight ride has been transformed this year, thanks to the pandemic, into a virtual trip to the moon. Participants have multiple options that include more than biking.
LHT Annual Full Moon Ride Is a Bit Longer This Year
Yet another organization has turned a casualty of the pandemic into a positive opportunity. Administrators of the Lawrence Hopewell Trail (LHT) have transformed the annual Full Moon Bike Ride, a popular event since 2013,
into something much bigger, longer, and more informal. The 2020-2021 Journey to the Moon invites cyclists, runners, dog walkers, skaters, and even treadmill users to log as many of the 238,000 miles it would take to travel to the moon, on or off the trail. The initiative was launched on October 2, the first of this month’s two full moons, and the night the event would have been held if not for COVID-19. It runs through March 1, 2021.

The annual Full Moon Bike Ride drew about 500 people last year. “Every year, it’s gotten bigger,’ said Markoe. “It’s a great event and people love it. Of course, this year we weren’t sure we could do it. So we decided to call it off. But then somebody came up with this idea of a virtual trip to the moon. And it has really taken off.” Participating in the fivemonth event is free. Those taking part can log their miles using the Journey to the Moon uploader (lhtrail.org/moonmiles/), and view the Journey to the Moontracker (lhtrail. org/moon-miles-tracker) to

Groups are encouraged. “The LHT also hopes to inspire participants to reach out to friends and family around the world, joining the community in its efforts to ‘Journey to the Moon.’ With Halloween around the corner, participants are encouraged to log miles in costume,” reads a press release for the event.
