Friends of Lake Apopka is hosting its sixth annual FOLA 40 bike ride around the lake Sunday, April 16, and participants can join in one of four rides from 8 to 40 miles.

The ride begins at 8:30 a.m. from two locations. The 40-mile ride starts in downtown Winter Garden, 104 S. Lakeview Ave., Winter Garden; and the 8-, 16- and 32-mile rides start at Magnolia Park, 2929 S. Binion Road, Apopka. The shorter rides will take riders along the lakefront and through the flat, sprawling wetlands of the Lake Apopka North Shore, which includes the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive. A hybrid, mountain or cyclocross-style bike is strongly recommended for all distances.

Registration for all four distances is open through April 15 and includes an event shirt for the first 150 riders and one free adult beverage at Crooked Can Brewery (426 W. Plant St., Winter Garden) after the ride.
