Hey guys,
How is everything going?
Do you miss the ride we had last time?
If so, let's hit the road today!
Below is the information about the first activity for this semester.
If you have seen this already on the CFAPSU mail list, please ignore the following.
Event: Ride on the bike paths around the State College area and get familiar with our neighborhood.
Time & Place:4:30 pm, Sep 13 (
today ), gather at the north entrance of Pattee Library ( on Curtin Rd ). Please be on time.
What to bring:A functional bike. Mountain bike or road bike or BMX are all welcome!
Wear a helmet. It is required by law. If you don't have one, it's also
ok, since we will mainly be riding on bike paths away from motor
traffics.
A bottle of water and some snacks.
What to expect:
Here is the route we will be riding:
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&ll=40.7899,-77.86972&spn=0.082789,0.222988&z=13&msid=105873616766538343239.0004736f8faec72c3c400
It is about 13 miles, and it takes approx. 2 hours to finish with
moderate speed. Mostly we will be riding on bike paths, and they are
all paved. The route has some rises and falls, so be prepared mentally
and physically.
But don't get scared! It is a slow-paced and casual ride.
If you'd like to come:Please
email me with your name, cell phone number ( if any, in case you get
lost), and address ( Do not need to be detailed, just say something
like Parkway Plaza or Vairo Village. I can point you the direction home
if you want to leave early ).
If you have any questions or concerns:
Don't hesitate to ask me!
Happy riding!
