Bicycle Board Members,

Anyone interested in leading a ride for the participants of the Statewide MPO conference in September?  There are 7 MPOs in the state.  They make the transportation plans for the state’s metropolitan areas.  Getting them focused on cycling could have an impact across the state.  Their home base is the Hotel Morgan.  County parks listed at http://www.boparc.org/parksfacilities/index.php that might be worth considering include:

Krepps Park

White Park

Marilla Park

Whitemoore Park and Trails

King Street Park

Jack Roberts Park

Hazel Ruby-McQuain Riverfront Park

South University Avenue Park

Jerome Park

Caperton Trail

Deckers Creek Trail

MEA Fishing Pier

Mylan Park at Chaplin Hill

Dorsey's Knob Park featuring Sky Rock

White Park Trails

Beer?

Let me know if you’re interested in doing something with this.  I’ll organize those interested.

Frank,

We are now in the stages of planning the MPO Conference Bike Ride. The ride should take place the evening of either Tuesday 9/21 or Wednesday 9/23. My initial thought is that maybe we could have a ride to the MPO Conference picnic tentatively scheduled the evening of the 23^rd. I have not selected a site for the picnic but I thought that a county park would be appropriate-if they allow beer. Please let me know your thoughts particularly on the potential location.

Thanks,

Bill Austin, AICP
