Itinerary:

Join us for a wintery ride on the Big Creek Greenway. For those of you who have not been on the Big Creek Greenway, it is great!  It is very well maintained, clean and very pretty.  We might even see some wildlife. The Greenway is made up of mostly paved pathways through the woods with some boardwalks mixed in. We plan to do about 18 casual miles (after the LEARNING session I'm hosting at 9am), starting from the Old Alabama Road parking area. We'll ride to the end of the Greenway, at Marconi Drive. No Hills (unless you like extra pain) so it's chill.

 
We might not ALL be together for the whole ride as it's a "fun" ride, and I'll be sweeping to be sure we all find the correct paths, but it's just the Out & Back on the main path). The ride is suitable for a CX, hybrid, road bike or mountain bike...just be sure it's safe & mechanically sound.

Wheels down right at 10:10 a.m. - following the "Basics on Bike Repair" Learn event that starts at 9 a.m.
