The public is invited to join the Henry County Bike Club (HCBC) and the Dan River Basin Association (DRBA) for a joint event to be held at the Fieldale Trail on Saturday, February 28th.
Starting at noon, everyone is encouraged to bring their bicycles and join HCBC for a bike ride. Beginner lessons on the Fieldale Trail will be offered as well as longer road rides that will begin and end at the trailhead. All skill levels are welcome to participate and everyone must wear a helmet.
Following the ride at 1 p.m., DRBA will facilitate a volunteer workday on the trail. Tasks will include litter pick-up, hanging trail marker signs, clearing around the trails benches, and removing fallen limbs & debris from the trail. Please dress appropriately for the weather. Suggested items to bring are work gloves, hammers, rakes, and loppers. Paddlers are also invited to bring their canoes and kayaks so that litter can be picked up along the banks from the river (life jackets must be worn while on the river). DRBA will provide refreshments for all volunteers.
For more information on the event please contact Jennifer Doss, DRBA Rivers & Trails Project Manager at 276-634-2545 or jdoss@danriver.org.
