Pedal Putnam is a chip-timed cycling event that offers three routes of different lengths, designed for families and cyclists of all abilities to enjoy Putnam County’s covered bridges, waterfalls, public art, and stunning countryside. Roads will be marked noting every turn, fully stocked SAG stops await riders on each route, and all participants will receive a custom soft-style event t-shirt. Stick around after the ride for music, food and drink, vendors, local shopping, and an awards presentation to the top three finishers in each age group.
