8th Annual Jim Gent Memorial Bay to Bay Bike Ride June 23
Every year on the fourth Sunday in June, hundreds of bicyclists from around the region and several states converge in Kent County for the annual Jim Gent Memorial Bay to Bay Bike Ride. The tour consists of five routes between 26 and 102 miles in length. The routes begin in Betterton and go around the County with options to go into Chestertown or all the way through Delaware to the Delaware Bay. The flat loop routes take in the scenery of the heartland of the Upper Eastern Shore of Maryland and Delaware including farmlands, old country homes, quaint towns, and great country stores. Some participants end their ride with a cool down swim at Betterton Beach. This event gives riders the chance to enjoy the beauty of Kent County, Chestertown and Delmarva, providing an economic boost to local businesses and restaurants, while raising money for leader dog training and other vision works by the local Lions Clubs. Equally impressive are the people working behind the scenes to make it all happen.
