SARC Bike Ride – Saturday August 16th @ 10:00a – Paul Douglas Trail

By Tom N9GUN

We have scheduled our next SARC group bike ride on Saturday, August 16th at 10:00a on the Paul Douglas Trail – Near Harper College

The ride will start and end in Harper College’s parking lot (Lot #12). We’ll ride out from there to the trail about 2 blocks away and ride to the trailhead near Crabtree Nature Center and back. I estimate the ride is about 16 – 18 miles. Be sure to bring your water bottles and radios! We’ll use SARC Emcomm channel 4 (147.42 simplex) for the event!

This is a group ride and not a race, so anyone who wants to come out and participate can ride with us. We will adjust speed and distance accordingly.

Here is a map below with the trail and our starting point. We’ll meet at the parking lot #12, just north of the tennis courts at 10:00a.
