Itinerary:

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.

~ Albert Einstein

So let's keep moving, on our bikes!

We'll ride the Forsyth Big Creek Greenway for 6.8 miles each way with a twist, we'll segway thru an undeveloped tract to add some additional mileage and get closer to 15 miles.

We'll meet at the Forsyth Big Creek Greenway on Bethelview/141. We'll ride from the trailhead to McFarland, keeping a moderate pace of 10-12 mph. Along the way we'll ride through an undeveloped subdivision for an extra 1-1.5 miles, and continue to McFarland. The return trip will be straight thru to the trailhead.

I will be leading a hike up Sawnee Mountain Preserve before the ride, and those choosing will be joining us for lunch between the two events. Lunch will be at a local Mexican restaraunt. I will email all who sign up with the name and location before the events start.
