The Vermont Lake Monsters are proud to announce the hosting of the first ever “Bike Me Out to the Ballpark” event on Sunday, July 10th in collaboration with Local Motion, Skirack, the Chittenden Area Transportation Management Association (CATMA), and Champlain College Transportation.
In an effort to encourage alternative modes of transportation to and from Vermont Lake Monsters games at Centennial Field, fans are encouraged to ride their bikes to the ballpark for the game this Sunday as the Lake Monsters face the Batavia Muckdogs at 5:05pm. Fans will be able to bike to the ballpark from two locations, one in the North End of Burlington and one in the South End, led by volunteer coordinators, the Burlington Police, and a few special guests.
Local Motion will be on site at the ballpark to offer fans a free bike valet and mechanics from Skirack will help provide bike checks. All bike riders will be able to use their bike valet ticket in exchange for a free Lake Monsters game ticket. As part of the already scheduled promotional calendar, the first 650 kids through the gates (opening at 4:00pm) will receive a BMX bike helmet, courtesy of Hickok and Boardman Insurance Group, Vermont NEA, and Free Press Media.
The North End bike train will be leaving from Hannaford in the Ethan Allen Shopping Center at 3:15pm. There will be a mid-ride pick-up at Burlington College and on North Street. The Lake Monsters mascot, CHAMP, will be joining the bike train at the hospital entrance on Colchester Avenue. The South End bike train will leave from The Edge on Eastwood Drive at 3:15pm. There will be pick-ups on Shelburne Road and at the Gutterson Parking Garage.
Two bike trains will leave the ballpark for each North and South End route. One will leave at 7:00pm and then the other will leave 15 minutes after the end of the 9th inning.
