Pelotonia will host an in-person ride this summer with modifications to help protect participants from COVID-19, the organization announced Monday. The ride weekend is scheduled for Aug. 6-8, and registration for the cycling event, which raises millions of dollars annually for cancer research, will begin at noon Thursday. The event that typically draws 14,000 cyclists Downtown — plus many more volunteers and spectators along the routes — took a virtual and more-individualized approach in 2020 due to the pandemic. Doug Ulman, Pelotonia president and chief executive officer, said he and other leaders are thrilled to resume an in-person ride — and he expects loyal riders will be, too.
