The goal of the relay is to complete as many loops or kilometers as your team can in the last 2 weeks of bike month. June 16 to June 30 2021 the Everyone Rides Initiative (ERI) is hosting a Neighbourhood Bike Relay.
Steps to Participate

| 3. | Review and choose a route from below to ride with your team. (see notes below about creating your own loop) |
| 4. | Log in to Strava and join the ERI Neighbourhood Bike Relay (NBR) group with your team name. |
