Cape Fear SORBA will be holding its weekly club meeting on Thursday April 12th at the Long Island Eatery. This meeting is very important because we will be electing new club officials for the upcoming year. Both VP Austin and Secretary Jay are not running for re-election for sure and Treasurer Bryan may also step down with new blood prepared to take over. If you wish to have a voice in how the club moves forward please do your best to attend! If you only make it to one all year make it this one!

 

Trail Building day at Brunswick Saturday April 14th

Want the good news? The outer loop of the advanced section of trail HAS BEEN COMPLETED. Ok granted there are still some small things to play with but the trail is CUT! Pat yourselves on the back folks, you made this happen. Of course now you must be asking, “whats next?” Well we are now going to build the connector trail that will run from the intermediate loop to the advanced entrance. That is our project for Saturday! The workday will be lead by Greg Brinson. Meet at 9am at the oval parking lot near the picnic shelter. Please bring shovels and rakes, proper attire, food/water, and bug spray/sunscreen. Attend for as long as you can and get there when you can. We’d love to have you! RSVP at the club meetup.com page!

This ride is taking place to celebrate their life and raise awareness for cycling. The route is 6 miles long and begins at Veterans park in the Ashley High School Parking lot. No matter what type of bike you ride, this is an event that is important to attend. Please come show your support for cycling in New Hanover County by taking part.
