Positive Spin wants to remind you that you are invited to ride with Country Roads Cyclists (CRC) this Sunday, August 10, at 1pm in the vicinity of Positive Spin. If you need to drive, there is overflow parking beside the skate board park.
CRC will bike up the Deckers Creek Trail to Masontown (milepost 13), then return to the park. 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. Some people drive their friends up, and then ride down the trail one-way, and designate another person to bicycle back up to Masontown to retrieve the vehicle.
Positive Spin will have an informal potluck picnic about 4:30pm. Please bring a dish to share, or food can be purchased in Sabraton. A grill will be available. Word is that there may be a DJ in front of the facility!
Positive Spin and CRC are partners, and I am glad to announce that we are indeed experiencing real results in getting new people out bicycling! CRC schedules http://www.crcyclists.org/crc_rides_sched.pdf many rides, and CRC membership http://crcyclists.org/mem_form.pdf is only $10.

Please be careful as you approach Rock Forge area, between mile 3 and 4 as the trail has had serious damage due to a tree blocking one of our culverts and has caused the a slicing off of the rail-trail. One side of the trail is open but please be careful of others that may be coming down in the opposite direction and take it slow. It is a short section but caution is needed. I am working on getting donations from area businesses and raising money for the fix. Photo on our website.
Also- an opportunity to show some excitement at the Masontown Trailhead. MRTC has raised all the money needed to rehab and reuse the Elkins Coal and Coke Building on the hillside as a new restroom facility and information center (to get a map, see historic photos, etc). If any of you are from Masontown, please thank the city leaders who own the building and property. Photo also on website. Enjoy the ride and the camaraderie, Ella
