***MULTIGROUP*** Bicycle Ride / Chief Ladiga Trail

***THIS IS A MULTI GROUP OUTING W/ AN EXPECTED TURNOUT OF ABOUT 10 PEOPLE***

Join friendly folks for an 11-mile bicycle ride on the Chief Ladiga Trail in the Piedmont, Alabama area. Ride on Alabama’s first extended rails-to-trails conversion route on an old railroad right of way. The portion of this trail we’ll be riding on is smooth, 8-10 feet wide and even paved. The trail is suitable for road bikes plus mountain, hybrid and urban bicycles. Ride through towns, fields and picturesque woodlands. No motorized vehicles are allowed on the trail!

Bicycle helmets are required and must be worn. Please bring a picnic lunch (or snack) and drink. Also if you have a bike rack which can hold more than one bicycle, please bring it with you to Piedmont in order to facilitate the required car shuttle.

The pace of this bicycle ride will be leisurely. From time to time we will stop bicycling just to enjoy the scenery. However, please note that this ride is 11 miles long. We recommend that participants intending to come on this outing have bicycled at least a few times during the 30 days prior. In order to be assured that you can ride comfortably on this trip you should probably be able to ride at an average speed of 8-12 miles per hour on level terrain.

There will be an optional restaurant dinner afterward. You will have an opportunity to shower and/or wash up and change clothes at Eubanks after the hike.
