Turkey Buster Ride!

Jon Davis and friends will be leading a Turkey Buster Ride on Black Friday. So eat everything you want, including seconds on pumpkin pie and then head on over to Kauffman Ruritan Center to ride the “C” route on November 24 at 11am. You can ride off those calories and socialize with your cycling friends - way better than fighting the crowds in the stores.

July Social Ride

The July Social Ride will be held on Saturday, July 15. We will meet at the C&O Canal Parking Lot at the Shepherdstown Bridge at 9:30 am. The route will be C&O Canal Towpath from Shepherdstown to Harper’s Ferry. This will be an “out-and-back” ride entirely on the towpath. The trail is in good condition, packed fine gravel, no hills, almost entirely tree tunnel. Options for lunch would be: walk over the ped bridge to Harper’s Ferry for choice of restaurants or ride over to Shepherdstown on return. If there is interest, we can provide “bring your own sandwich” and transport a small cooler or lunch bag to a picnic/camp site along the trail. Contact Tim Gotwald (tgotwald@embarqmail.com) if you are interested in this ride and if you would like the “picnic” option. Total distance - about 24 miles. 

Trail is beautiful. Lots of wildlife and wildflowers. Views of the Potomac all the way. You can probably do the trail on road bike unless it’s muddy. Wider profile tires would work too.
