Wabash, Ind. – The Dam to Dam Ride (D2D) committee and Parkview Wabash Hospital (PWB) are
pleased to announce the fifth year of the ‘Liking for Biking’ riding series that began on May 1st. Parkview
Wabash Hospital has been a community health partner for the program since its inception in 2017.
From May 1st through August 28th, anyone who is interested in a free, family-friendly 60-minute bike ride
is invited to meet at Paradise Spring Historical Park’s upper pavilion at 8:45 a.m. each Saturday.
Volunteers from the Spikes and Bikes Bike Club and the Rock City Bike Club have offered to lead the
weekly rides in a fun and engaging atmosphere.
Free health assessments are provided by Parkview Wabash Hospital for the first and last ride to help
measure the impact of a healthy lifestyle in a community. The next health assessment will take place on
August 28th at 8:00 a.m. inside of door 10 at Parkview Wabash Hospital, while the rest of the rides will
start at Paradise Spring Historical Park with wheels rolling at 9:00 a.m. Masks are required inside

Performance Market, Modoc’s Market, Dunham’s, and numerous other local businesses. Anyone who
rides one of the Saturdays in May will receive a free Liking for Biking T-shirt.
Liking for Biking is a program of Visit Wabash County and centers itself around the grassroots movement
that started the annual Dam to Dam ride. In 2010, Dr. William Rauh gathered a handful of his friends to
ride the Wabash County Bike Route in celebration of his milestone birthday. The group of friends enjoyed
the leisure of riding bikes together throughout Wabash County so much that they chose to continue to
make the ride an annual event. Organically, the event grew by word of mouth until 2014 when the local
organizers partnered with Visit Wabash County to grow participation in what is now known as the Dam to
Dam Wabash County Century Ride.
September 12 will mark the 12th anniversary of the Dam to Dam Wabash County Century Ride powered
by INGUARD Health.
The Liking for Biking series is free and open to everyone at any age and at any level. The program is
made possible in partnership with Parkview Wabash Hospital, Spikes and Bikes Bike Club, Rock City
Bike Club and Visit Wabash County. Helmets are required. Specific information regarding each of the
family friendly fun rides is available at visitwabashcounty.com/adventure-series or by calling the Visit
Wabash County Welcome Center.
