Lowell Observatory “Mars Hill Challenge Ride”
Mars Hill Road …. yep, you probably know it, the paved ½-mile winding climb from Thorpe Park to the scenic overlook and then up to Lowell Observatory that beckons cyclists to pit their aerobic prowess against its steep 10-12% grade.
As a regular BTWW work site participant, Lowell Observatory is sponsoring the “Mars Hill Challenge Ride” again this year as a featured event. Ride anytime between 12 pm and 5 pm on May 14th, we challenge local cyclists to bike up Mars Hill to the Marley Foundation Astronomy Discovery Center and experience first-hand what Lowell BTWW riders contend with all week long. The reward?
A free Buy One, Get One (BOGO) guest pass to Lowell Observatory, and a refreshing bottle of water. Just show your bike helmet to the front desk greeter in the Astronomy Discovery Center when you reach the top.
For directions and questions contact info@lowell.edu or 928-774.3358.
