Full Moon Social Ride: Tonight! 10pm
by Drew Gatlin 27 Mar '21

27 Mar '21

Hello Bike Board! We've been talking a lot about getting the social rides started back up. Tonight's pretty close to a full moon and we've got excellent weather, so let's ride! If you're on Facebook but don't know about the Social Rides group, check it out here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/MowtownSocialRides/ Here's the verbiage I provided for the event description: It's been too long - let's restart these social rides with a special full-moon ride! Have you never ridden at night? You're in for a treat. The weather couldn't be more perfect. Make sure to bring a set of lights, some noisemakers, and whatever rations you need to get your creaky pandemic bones back in the saddle. We'll do as we have done - explore generally unknown routes, whimsical cut throughs, odd alleys, maybe visit some public art. We'll climb the hills - ya can't avoid them - and we'll roll down the other side to the creek bottoms. We'll have ya back before you turn into a pumpkin at midnight. We'll make a cloverleaf of a route, giving you a chance to hop off at least once in the middle if you want a shorter ride Guidelines: We’re a pack. Not a mass. TAKE A MASK TO DON WHEN YOU'RE NEAR OTHERS STOP AT YELLOW AND RED LIGHTS + YIELD AT STOP SIGNS STICK TOGETHER + STAY IN ONE LANE + HOLD YOUR LINE RESPECT ONE ANOTHER AND OTHER ROAD USERS CALL OUT CARS + COMMUNICATE WITH THE PACK Cheers, Drew J.

Monthly Meeting: Tonight! 7-8:15pm
by Drew Gatlin 04 Mar '21

04 Mar '21

Hello all! A quick reminder of our regular monthly meeting, scheduled for tonight from 7:00-8:15pm. We've been doing great on keeping ourselves to the allotted time - thanks to everyone for making this happen! As I mentioned in last month's meeting email and at the end of last meeting, we'll continue with our facilitated discussion. This time we'll begin with the positives - our favorite roads to ride, what we like about the cycling community, what we see as the best examples of all things bike-related here in town. I'll be asking for your thoughts on how you recall they came to be, and what lessons we might learn from them to help us tackle our previously identified pressing issues. You should have a recurring meeting link on your calendars and/or in your Teams app - if you've lost track of that, no worries, just click here: Click here to join the meeting<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_OTM3ZDNkYjctMWY1ZC00…> I encourage you to download the Microsoft teams app for whatever device you'll be using - it allows you to use the beloved gallery view modes, see the meeting chat, and utilize other goodies. Best, Drew Drew Gatlin Staff Engineer 389 Spruce Street, Room 24 Morgantown, WV 26505 Cell: (304) 719-7900 Office: (304) 284-7411 [cid:image001.png@01D710FC.2764CF00]<http://www.morgantownwv.gov/>
