Return: ~4:30pm @ Osage Station Park parking lot
Cost: $0, but participants will need to bring money ($5) for ice cream at Loard’s Ice Cream in Alamo.

Required: Permission slip and Mandatory ABC Bike Check on February 7th

An easy, flat 10-mile bike ride to Alamo and back along the Iron Horse trail. We will review cycling rules of the road and will do a quick bike safety check before departing.

Mandatory ABC Bike Check: All participants need to bring both their bikes and helmets to the Troop meeting on February 7th for a mandatory inspection. Our expectation is that Scouts will conduct an inspection for fit, condition of components, and function at home and present us with bicycles that need only minor adjustments. Please contact me if you need to make other arrangements for this mandatory inspection.
Parents are responsible for transporting their son and his gear both to and the staging area at Osage Park. Bring water to cycle with (bottle in cage or a hydropack), sunscreen and energy bar(s). We need adults to support this outing.

Rain: February is in the middle or our rainy season. Be prepared for light rain and/or fog. In the case of projected heavy rain, I will send an email out a few days prior to the event to communicate any event changes.

Contact Mr Carstensen (cell: 510-731-7513) for questions.
