Bike-A-Thon |
The Mono Lake Committee's Bike-A-Thon took place from 1980 until 1995. The six-day, 350-mile ride began in front of the Department of Water & Power headquarters in Los Angeles, where riders filled vials from the reflecting pool.
After riding through the desert and the deep Owens Valley along the Eastern Sierra, the Bike-A-Thoners emptied their vials into Mono Lake, returning the water to the lake in a symbolic gesture.
After the 1994 State Water Board decision provided concrete protection for Mono Lake, the Bike-A-Thoners had one last ride in 1995: the Victory Ride.
