BILLINGS - May Day has traditionally included flower-themed festivities over the years: from dancing around a maypole to hanging baskets of flowers on a neighborâs door, and more recently, to bicycling on Billingsâ growing trail system with flowers.
This yearâs May Day is Saturday, May 1, and Billings TrailNet invites the community to celebrate spring and the joy of getting out on the trails by participating in their 2021 Tour de Fleur, where bicycling, walking, running and flowers are celebrated on the trails, from May 1-7.
The Tour de Fleur will kick off with a 15-mile ride on Saturday, May 1, according to a release. This ride will be for experienced cyclists who can ride unsupported for 15 miles. Billings TrailNet encourages people who cannot participate in a 15-mile ride, to share some joy and hang May baskets on neighborsâ and friendsâ doors. (Roll a letter-size paper into a cone, staple it in place and add flowers!)
