Bluffton's 5th annual Ride to Remember bicycle ride is Saturday, headquartered at Bluffton Family Recreation.

It is one of several bike events on this year's Black Swamp Bike Tours.

Paul Craun of Hancock Country Handbars, said, "The 2019 /20 BlackSwampBikeTours.com web page has been created to provide a common landing page for bicyclists to connect with some of the outstanding annual Northwest Ohio area rides and tours.

"With the great input from many of the same riders, tour organizers and supporters, these rides have evolved over the years to include great routes, SAG and Safety services, food and rest areas, and overall organizational excellence. Their attributes set them apart as some of the best in the multi-state region.
