The Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition will host a Nurture with Nature bike trail ride from Lewes to Rehoboth for breast cancer survivors from 9 to 11 a.m., Tuesday, Aug. 30.

These outings occur approximately once a month throughout the state.
The Nurture with Nature trail ride will offer survivors the chance to bike from Seaside Nature Center in Lewes to Gordons Pond in Rehoboth Beach and back. The trail is approximately 3.2 miles each way. Most of the trail is packed crushed stone surface with several bridges, boardwalks and overlooks. Survivors will have beautiful views of the salt marsh, pond and ocean, along with vistas for nature enthusiasts and bird watchers.
