2011 Trails Day Event



Beth Emery will be our guide and teacher on this event, which includes a short hike on the Mattabesset River trail. It will be an easy 10-mile ride over mostly level terrain. Beth is a League of American Bicyclists cycling instructor, and she will begin with a brief introduction to bicycling safety, including the bicycle ABC quick check, a helmet fit and adjustment check, and a discussion of trail etiquette and riding safety.

Participants need to bring their own bikes (in good working order with tires properly inflated) and helmets, plus water and sunscreen.

Space is limited and pre-registration is required by contacting Beth Emery at ctladycyclist@gmail.com or 860-346-7387. Beth will also tell you about rain cancellation, directions to the start site, and parking. Dogs not allowed. This event is part of Connecticut Forest and Parks 2011 Trails Day Event.
