WBWC members and supporters,
The Washtenaw Bicycling and Walking Coalition (WBWC) is cooperating with the Ecology Center on the Center's EcoRide on Sunday, June 24. The ride is a fund raiser for the Ecology Center.
Four ride routes planned, two of which are along the Border-to-Border (B2B) Trail. Starting from Riverside Park in Ann Arbor, one ride will follow the B2B Trail east past St. Joe's Hospital and then return; the other ride will follow the B2B Trail northwest past Argo Dam and through Bandemer Park and then go north on Whitmore Lake Road before returning. The rides will visit urban gardens and other sites. The mayors of Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti are expected to ride on the route to St. Joe's. The B2B rides will be about 10 miles round trip, or one can do both for a total of about 20 miles. The rides are advertised to run between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. There is also a 2-mile ride/walk, geared toward families and kids, and a 55-mile ride for those who want to go farther.
Further information about the rides, including information about routes, festivities, volunteering, and registration, is available at:

The Ecology Center says:
"EcoRide is a fun and exciting way to support the Ecology Center with family-friendly and long-distance routes that include stops that promote local environmental accomplishments. So pump up your tires, line up your friends and register for the funnest, finest bike tour of our region this year."

Larry how did it go on Sunday? I was out of town, but I heard it was pretty hot and muggy in the morning. Was the minimal support you had enough for all the questions that I am sure we got? Were you able to take all the stuff home with you on a bike trailer?
