Route Sharing Activities
In an effort to have a semblance of outdoor club activities during this time of physical distancing we are test driving some creative options. We are asking members like you to share details (roads, length, quality of surface, amenities, notable features, etc.) of a route you like, as we have done with the Pinery route we enjoyed recently. We hope to post one route per week and have members ride or walk it when it suits them, observing physical distancing guidelines and all forms of personal safety. On Saturday afternoon we’ll host a Zoom meeting to connect and talk about the shared experience, along with other topics and ideas.
