Watch out for bikers in Bluffton on Sunday, Sept. 11.

The Hancock Handlebars Club has Bluffton on its 2011 Hancock Horizontal Hundred biking event. According to Paul Craun of the club, over 700 bikers will participate. The event offers routes of 4 miles, 20 miles, 40 miles, 62 miles and 100 miles.

Bikers are expected to be in Bluffton anytime between 10:30 a.m. and 4 p.m., with most arriving between noon and 1 p.m., according to Craun.

The bike route that includes Bluffton brings bikers from Findlay via Bentley Road at the south. Bikers will head north on Main Street. A Bluffton Lions Club rest stop is at the Bluffton Presbyterian Church lawn. From the church, bikers will head back to Findlay on Main Street and on to County Road 313.

Craun said that the bikers will promote the Lions Club Foundation's Corvette Raffle.

"For many years we have stopped just outside of Bluffton at the village park for our rest stops," said Craun. "After the streetscaping project was completed we felt that if would be great to have our riders ride the entire length of your beautiful Main Street and stop in downtown to showcase a great small town in northwest Ohio. Many of our riders are not from northwestern Ohio and may have never been in Bluffton. The communities welcome and assistance has been great."
