Hello everyone,

We would like to invite everyone to a MSRC family bike ride Saturday September 7th. This will be a trail ride out and back to the Bike & Bean Train Station in St. Margaret's Bay.

There will be three starting points to accommodate the different ages and riding abilities of the athletes and parents. The goal is for the whole group to ride the last leg to the Bike & Bean together. Distances are from the starting point to the Bike & Bean and return. The longer distances will start earlier and pickup groups along the trail. The meeting points and starting times are detailed at the bottom of the email along with maps.

• Leg 1: Start Ashburn Golf Club, Joseph Howe Drive, Halifax - 9:00 AM - 52 km return
• Leg 2:Start Bluff Wilderness Hiking Trail Parking Lot., Timberlea - Approx. 9:50 AM - 30km return
• Leg 3:Start Across from 4266 St. Margaret's Bay Road, Lewis Lake. - Approx. 10:15 AM - 13 km return

Athletes must have a parent or guardian participate who will be responsible for the child's safety. With that in mind, please remember to emphasize safety during the ride, wear proper equipment, helmet, clothing; and practice safe riding. This includes walking bikes across any roads, staying to the right side of the trail and respecting other trail users.
