Mon/Yough Trail Council (MYTC), the oldest institution of its kind in Allegheny County, will mark its 25th anniversary with its annual Yough-n-Roll bike ride, membership appreciation lunch, and the presentation of a plaque on Saturday, June 18, at the Boston Trailhead.
Founded in 1991, MYTC was the first volunteer organization to take on responsibility for a link in the Great Allegheny Passage, the bike trail between Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C.
Registration is underway for the Yough-n-Roll, a fundraiser benefiting MYTC’s mission of maintaining and operating the trail from McKeesport to the Westmoreland County line. Entry forms are available online at http://thebostontrail.com/yough-n-roll/.
Yough-n-Roll, now in its 23rd year, is a 40- or 20-mile bike ride for cyclists of all ages.
Activities the day of the event will begin with sign-in for the 40-mile bike ride from 7-8 a.m. at the Boston Trailhead, followed by registration for the 20-mile ride from 8-9 a.m.
Participants registered by June 6 will receive T-shirts. Riders will receive refreshments along the trail.
Membership appreciation will include lunch at the Boston Trailhead for Yough-n-Roll riders and MYTC members from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
A plaque commemorating MYTC’s 25th anniversary will be presented at noon.

The public is welcome to attend informative monthly meetings, held at 6:30 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month at the Greenock Fire Hall, 1002 Greenock Buena Vista Road, McKeesport.
