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 http://www.railstotrails.org/experience-trails/rail-trail-sojourns/ 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 Contact: Vicky Evans at victoriaevans109@gmail.com mailto:victoriaevans109@gmail.com with questions or RSVP 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. Contact- Gary Smith garyksmith@gmail.com mailto:garyksmith@gmail.com
