Mark your calendars! Positive Spin will join Country Roads
Cyclists (CRC) for two bicycle rides on May 25th and June 1; both
events begin at 1pm. Meet at the Marilla Park Headquarters Building
near Positive Spin.
Sunday, May 25 (Memorial Weekend), 1pm - We will bike up
the Deckers Creek Trail to Masontown (milepost 13), then return to
the park. Then we will have an informal potluck picnic at
Positive Spin. Please bring a dish to share, or food can be
purchased in Sabraton.
Sunday, June 1, 1pm - We will bike south on the Mon River Tail to
the Opekiska Dam (milepost 24), then return to the park.
Attached is the CRC ride schedule with additional information about
both rides, including a significant number of other rides that CRC
hosts, sometimes 3 on one weekend; there is even a repeat of the
Spring Spectacular this Sunday.
When I was 11 years old, my own introduction to recreational road
riding came from rides with an organization that preceded CRC, the
Monongalia Bicycle Club. It is impressive to observe that the
tradition of arranging rides that are friendly to all skill levels
continues with CRC!
Our organizations are now partners, and I would like to encourage
Positive Spin volunteers (in lieu of hours) and supporters not only
to become members of
the Spin, but to consider joining CRC for only $10!
