I'm highjacking this event from Mike S this week....so I'm calling it Horhay's Highjacked Big Creek GreenWay Trail Ride = BCGWTR .
Join me for an after work 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 25 miles, starting from the North Point Parkway parking area.  We'll ride to the end of the Greenway, on Union Hill Road.   We'll  throw in a  couple of hills on and around Marconi Drive (to get the extra distance).   We plan to regroup only at the Marconi parking lot after the hills. 
 
The ride is suitable for a hybrid, road bike or gravel bike. Please make sure your bike is ready to go the night before.   We will depart from the parking lot at 6:10 sharp so please arrive early (a little extra wiggle room for traffic).
