This is where you will find the particulars of the events -- when, what time, meeting place, lunch arrangements, trails,
etc. We will try our best to give you all the information you may need. If we do not, please contact one of us
listed on the home page.
Remember: We ride in the rain. About the only thing that will
stop a ride is a lightning storm. You have been muddy before, haven't you?
August 23 -- Saturday
Summersville Lake Area
Meet at the Salmon Run boat launch area
at 10 AM. Trails to be ridden will be selected at that time, and will be based on the skill
level of the riders. So there could be more than one riding group.
Beginners are welcome.
Helmets are required. Bring your own lunch, snacks, and drinks and join us for a great day
around this beautiful lake. Mountian Biking in West Virginia is a special experience and riding the Summersville Lake
area with the available scenery is spectacular.
Hope to see you there.

Watoga State Park /
Greenbrier River Trail
Meet at 10 AM at the Seibert Trailhead on the Greenbrier River Trail - VERY near the entrance to Watoga
State Park. Bring your own lunch and drinks and helmets are required.
Watoga is one of WV's most beautiful parks--and is the largest. Watoga has a unique history and is
forever linked to the CCC of years past. Their work at the park still stands as a testament to the quality of the work
they did.
The Greenbrier River Trail traverses WV from Cass to Lewisburg and with a grade maxing at about 2%, it is
an easy, enjoyable ride.
Meet at the 10 AM at the Seibert Trailhead and we will hit the GRT and make plans for the trails on Watoga.

Just a few reminders----
'Tis the season!! Got the bike ready?
Tires, spokes, & wheels OK? How about the bearings?
Bottom bracket snug?
You did not let the seat post stick, did you?
Cables and housing free and working as they should without sticking? Shifting mechanisms all working
or do they need adjusting?
THE CHAIN--all the links flexing? When did you lube it? Is the chain stretched? Have you
looked?
Now is a great time to visit the local bike guy and have the bike looked over front to back and tweaked
as needed. Start the season with as few problems as possible and the entire season will be better.
(of course, I have not covered it all with these questions--ask the bike guys to check it all)
