The Ada Rotary will host a Family Fun Ride from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Oct. 26, on the Rotary Riverwalk/Ottawa River Bikeway in Lima, according to Laurie Laird of the club.

“The ride will be a fun, family-friendly bicycle ride that will help us raise awareness of and funding for M.E.S.A.,” she said. “It will begin and end at the Ottawa Metro Park off of State Route 81.”

M.E.S.A. stands for Medical Equipment Supplies Abroad and is a service project for the Rotary District 6600, which Ada’s club is a part of.

“Rotary collects used medical equipment that still has life in it and sends it to countries that can't afford new equipment,” she added.

Riders will have the opportunity to ride the entire bikeway along the river, approximately 26 miles round trip, or any portion of it between Ottawa Metro Park and Heritage Park.

The ride will occur rain or shine. Cost to participate is $20/ for adults (18 and over) and $7 for children (under 18).

Registrations taken after Oct. 15 are $25/adult and $7/child.

The club's goal is to have at least 50 riders participate this year. All funds raised will support M.E.S.A.
