Blue Zones Project Tuolumne County is hosting its third annual SONORA BIKE DAY event at Indigeny Reserve on June 8. Sunday morning from 9am to 12noon.
Community partners include Mother Lode Bike Coalition and WeDeliver Wheels. They will offer free bike repairs and flat repairs on bikes people want to bring by. This is to encourage our community to pull those bikes out of the garage and get them ready to ride this summer! If you have an extra bike no one is riding in the aforementioned garage, bring it to Sonora Bike Day and donate it! It will be refurbished and donated to someone who can’t afford a bike. A bike rodeo for young riders will be available too.
This year Tuolumne County Public Health will return with free bike helmets and healthy snacks and drinks. They always bring great information and are huge supporters of healthy living.
For the first time we will welcome Tuolumne County Search and Rescue. They will bring their team of E-Bike riders to answer questions and show us how an electric bicycle can play an important part in our County’s search and rescue needs.
Volunteers from the Sonora Mountain Bike Team (middle and high school riders) will lead rides at 9:30am, 10:30am and 11:30am on the Indigeny bike trails they have helped create.
The community can ride a loop trail from 10am to 11am and earn extra raffle tickets for our prize table. We will have fun giveaways at check-in and lots of encouragement to get outside and ride!
This is a free event for the community. Sonora Bike Day celebrates getting outside and riding your bike. Join Blue Zones Project and their community partners this year for a fun morning on your bike.

About Blue Zones Project®
Blue Zones Project® is a community-led well-being improvement initiative designed to make healthy choices easier through permanent changes to a city’s environment, policy, and social networks. Blue Zones Project is based on research by Dan Buettner, a National Geographic Fellow and New York Times best-selling author who identified five cultures of the world—or blue zones —with the highest concentration of people living to 100 years or older. The Project incorporates Buettner’s findings and works with cities to implement policies and programs that will move a community toward optimal health and well-being. Blue Zones launched the first pilot community in 2009 in Albert Lea, MN with groundbreaking results. In partnership with Sharecare, the model has since been applied to more than 70 communities across North America, impacting more than 4.35 million citizens. The population health solution includes two Health Districts in California; 15 cities in Iowa; the city of Fort Worth, Texas; Corry, Pennsylvania; Brevard, North Carolina; Walla Walla Valley, Washington; and communities in Southwest Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Wisconsin.
