The Collier Lilly Ride
When: May 23, 2020, 8:30 a.m.
Where: Wedge at Foundation, 5 Foundry Street, Asheville, NC
Since 2003 thousands of riders have participated in the Collier Lilly Ride, a recreational bike ride honoring the memory of Collier Lilly, a graduate of NCOBS. 2020 will mark our sixth year in Asheville. We will start and finish the ride at Wedge at Foundation. In keeping with Outward Bound’s bedrock principles of “challenge and discovery,” the Collier Lilly Ride for NCOBS will continue with the same, rugged route that takes riders over challenging mountain roads and allows them to discover Western North Carolina’s scenic, rural communities.
Proceeds from the event will fund scholarships for Western North Carolina youth to attend a life-changing NCOBS wilderness course. For questions please contact Sabrina Delk, SDelk@NCOBS.org or (828) 239-2144.
