Bike race

The Huckleberry 100 Mile Bike Race will take place Saturday, Sept. 15, in and around Flathead Valley through multiple kinds of terrain, around farm land, mountains, valleys and towns. While the main race is about 102 miles long and more suited to hard-core riders, such as visiting 1984 Olympic gold medalist Steve Hegg, riders can opt for the 50-mile, 25-mile or 12-mile course. The Huckleberry 100 first took place 30 years ago.

It stopped in the mid-1990s and was revived last year. For more information, visit online at www.huckleberry100.com, call 257-3339 or e-mail courtenay@freshliferadio.org.
