Kelly -

I'm just returning to this to make sure we have finalized (or can finalize) this. I think the best approach is to have the CRCs add a "rider" or special event insurance (esp if it's around $250) and the organization leading the bike summit (WV Connecting Communities) will reimburse CRC. Please confirm the price with your carrier and let Drew & me know.

Hope that is acceptable to CRC, and we greatly appreciate your help. I have a call with the Summit organizing committee and will follow up soon with more details.

I'm cc'ing Drew, he's also helping organize that day. Here are the details of the day:

1) noon: gather on trail behind the Waterfront Marriott for one of three rides:

  a) MTB in White Park (led by Colin & Christiaan) - bikes provided by WVU Outdoor Rec Center

  b) trail to Masontown (led by CRC) - riders bring own bikes

  c) road to Mt. Morris & Rising Creek (led by CRC)- or other road ride the CRC leader chooses - riders bring own bikes

2) Return by 2:30

3) 3:00-4:30 educational ride led by host committee - bikes provided by Wamsley's & WVU

4) 6:30-8pm exciting evening panel led by yours truly re: making WV more bike friendly

8pm + - general merriment

Thanks!
Christiaan

Thanks Kelly! I'll look into the insurance question. A few questions back:

1) what route to Rising Creek would you take? We'd trust your judgement of the road conditions, of course. Now that I think more about it, is there a safe road ride on only WV roads (rather than into PA) since this is the WV Bike Summit?

2) re: insurance - if a non-member joins in one of your scheduled rides, is insurance needed? Is our request the same - or would it be viewed as the same by the legal system?

Looking forward to it...we could always chat about these things as you walk by the house, too!

Thanks so much!
Christiaan

Country Roads Cyclists would be glad to lead the two rides on Sunday, one up Decker's Creek and the other to Mount Morris. I am not certain about taking a group of cyclists up RT 100 to Mount Morris, I have avoided that road for the last two years because of the very bad condition of the road. Two other possibilities would be to bike up the Mon River Trail to Friendship Hill or to Lake Lynn Dam, the drawback there is, if it is wet, the one mile undeveloped trail to Point Marion can be pretty muddy.

But, I am open to any suggestions.

The bigger question to me is the one of insurance. Country Roads Cyclists has insurance to cover its members riding, but we had to pay extra ($233.00) for an event, like the Spring Spectacular in May of 2017. So, would the bike board or WV Bike Summit be covering this?

I am looking forward to hearing back on these two issues. Kelly Williams

Friends -

Traci, Drew and I are planning some educational rides around Morgantown on Sunday, Sept 24^th for the WV Bike Summit that will be in town.

As you're all planning September rides - Mon Bike Club, CR Cyclists or another individual or group - we're wondering if you would be interested in leading or helping lead one or both of the rides in bold below (to Mt Morris & to Masontown). We're hoping to highlight all the great, diverse rides available and the great cycling groups in our area.

 

Please let me know. Thanks so much!

Christiaan
