Staying active during the summertime will be easy in Shelbyville as the announcement has been made for the Lake Shelbyville 500 Mile Cycling Challenge. Starting on April 1st and rolling until October 31st, cyclists will be able to log their miles at www.challengehound.com starting on April 1st.

Brock Key, Park Ranger for Lake Shelbyville says the miles tracked are on the honor system and the rides give an opportunity to the community to see the great trails and wildlife Shelbyville has to offer.

Upon completing the 500 miles riders will be awarded with prizes. Key explains that there are two different registrations, the MVP fee and the regular fee.

Registration for the Lake Shelbyville 500 Mile Cycling Challenge must be submitted by July 15th, and registration information can be found at www.bikereg.com/500milecyclingchallenge.
