Friends -

Traci, Drew and I are planning some educational rides around Morgantown on Sunday, Sept 24^th for the WV Bike Summit that will be in town.

As you're all planning September rides - Mon Bike Club, CR Cyclists or another individual or group - we're wondering if you would be interested in leading or helping lead one or both of the rides in bold below (to Mt Morris & to Masontown). We're hoping to highlight all the great, diverse rides available and the great cycling groups in our area.

Please let me know. Thanks so much!

Christiaan

"When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.” -Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
