Mark your calendars! Positive Spin will join Country Roads
Cyclists (CRC) for two bicycle rides on July 6 (Independence Day
Weekend) and August 10; both events begin at 1pm. Meet at Positive
Spin. If you need to drive, there is overflow parking beside the
skate board park.
At both events, 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 about 4:30pm.
Please bring a dish to share, or food can be purchased in
Sabraton. Keep in mind that you can ride whatever distance you
want, that is one of the nice aspects about group trail rides. You
can get creative, too. At the most recent Masontown ride there
was a family who made arrangements so that one person drove up,
and then bicycled back, and then the other person bicycled up, and
drove back.
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!
