Explore Your County Parks: Saturday, May 14


Kick off your "Bike to Work" week with a ride to explore proposed trails to be constructed in 2011! Join FCCP Chair, Jeff Stein, for this month's "Explore Your County Parks" series on a ride up to Observatory Mesa.

The ride is "intermediate" with a hearty climb up the Mesa and a bit of non-technical single track. The balance of the ride is easy-going two-track and Forest Service out to a meadow near A-1 Mountain for lunch/snack and spectacular peak views. The ride will also include a handout map describing the County's efforts to complete sections of the Loop Trail on the Mesa. The return trip will include exploring recently-completed sections.

The ride will start at 10:00 a.m. at the Xeriscape Gardenlocated on the corner of Sitgreaves Street and Aspen Avenue (near the City Hall parking lot). Please be sure and bring a mountain bike in good repair, sunscreen, helmet, a snack/lunch, and some water. If you have a spare tire tube, bring it along too, just in case. The ride is suitable for intermediate to advance bike riders.

For more information, call Jeff at (570) 417-3577.
