Organiser's description

The Bright Lights Ride came from a horrific tragedy on an early summer morning in late August of 2022. Charlie Criniere was riding his bike around Longview Lake when he was killed by a hit and run driver. Charlie left behind 100's of wonderful students, 10 beautifully bright children, and a tremendously wonderful wife. One of Charlie's great passions was his commitment to children, especially those who are disadvantages. The Bright Lights Event lives on as a legacy to the differences Charlie made to so many. Thank you for your commitment to Brake the Cycle !

An Olympic Runner has verbally agreed to attend. More information to come soon!
