Trek to Reenergize at the Cope Environmental Center

[Stephen Johnson]

Hi Stephen,
I hope all is well!
We have a group stopping at CEC on July 9 that are riding across the
states and stopping in communities to talk about various
sustainability issues etc. They are going to arrive here on July 9 at
4:30 and then leave really early on July 10. Is there a way to somehow
get folks involved via Bike Richmond? There schedule here is going to
be tight. We have a Pond Clinic here that evening and I am going to
try to meet with them to talk about CEC and then they will probably be
at the Pond Tour for a while talking to people and with information
etc. I am not sure if there is a way to get folks here early the next
morning for something. I am planning to squeeze in a tour and info
session about CEC for them. I know it is short notice, they just
contacted me. I would hate for them to come and go and not at least
have all the Bike Richmond friends know about it.

Any thoughts???
Stephanie

Sounds fun to get up and escort them to the state line on Saturday
morning. Unfortunately, I will not be here to do that.
Thanks for the notice.

Cyclists Join Massive Ride to Re-Energize America

(Centerville, IN)-- Seventeen cyclists from around the United States
will be arriving in Centerville, IN on June 9 as they cycle to
Washington D.C. They are part of a nation-wide project called the Trek
to Re-Energize America. The Trek to Re-Energize America is a national
bike ride starting from participants’ home states and cycling to D.C.
Cyclists will meet up as they go and will talk with and listen to
communities across the country as they ride, all with the objective of
raising a popular voice in support of climate action. "We're convinced
climate change should not be a partisan issue, and we're excited to
talk to diverse communities across the nation to help spread that
message and garner support for a new green economy," said student Gabs
Alot. Upon arrival in D.C. riders will lobby their representatives for
strong, immediate action on issues like green jobs, renewable energy
solutions and the phase out of fossil fuels.
For more information on the Trek, please visit our website at
www.trektoreenergize.org

A meet and greet will be held for the cyclists at Cope Environmental
Center at 5:00PM on July 9. The group is very interested in learning
more about what communities in east central Indiana are doing to
promote sustainable initiatives in their businesses, homes,
organizations, and local governments. They then blog about the people
they meet and the communities they visit. Please come tell the group
about any great initiatives happening in the area!
