There will be two stops along the route for presentations on the way to the REACH Museum. At the REACH Museum, participants will have the opportunity to enjoy hands-on activities, attend programs about the Manhattan Project and area ecology, and explore indoor museum exhibits.

Registration is required to participate in this free event. Event registration is open until May 2nd at 6:00 pm. Bike Tri-Cities paid for museum admission for registrants.
