Mon River Trails Conservancy is looking
for volunteers for two upcoming events they are sponsoring which
are listed below, which includes the first ever Rails-to-Trails
Sojourn event in our area.
The 2015 sojourn in West Virginia will
center on the city of Morgantown, home to West Virginia
University and the burgeoning Mon River Trails system, 48
miles of rail-trail in the north central part of the state,
connecting Marion, Monongalia and Preston counties.
During the Sojourn, there will be many bicyclists visiting, and we
will be doing our part in making them feel welcome to our amazing
state by providing bicycle event racks, and by allowing visitors
to freely use our tools at our Community Bike Shop on April 24 and
25.
SPRING TRASH BASH- Point Marion, PA
Saturday April 18
Along the Sheepskin Trail and Road along Cheat River
Meet 9AM at Point Marion Park
RSVP not required but appreciated
Sojourn Volunteers still needed on
Saturday, April 25
I would like one person on the north end of the bridge
across the Cheat River from 10:15 am to 11:30 am. Also two people
on the curve of Bunker Hill Road from 10:30 am until the sweep
riders pass about 3 pm. Doesn't have to be the same two people
they could use 2 or 3 shifts to reduce the time of each shift.
They would have safety vests to help direct cyclists and warn
drivers of bicycles in the area by their visual presence. They
would also have safety flags.
