10-Mile Bike Ride
Date: May 19th, 2018 (Saturday)
Meet: 11am @ Osage Station Park parking lot. Osage Park is located in Danville north of Charlotte Wood Middle School at 816 Brookside Drive (map)
Return: ~2pm @ Osage Station Park parking lot
Cost: $0, but participants may bring money ($5) for snack if desired.
Attire: Appropriate cycling clothes; Troop 805 Cycling shirt (or other bright shirt); well fitted helmet; eye protection (sun glasses); cycling gloves (recommended); closed toe shoes.
Required: Permission slip and Mandatory ABC Bike Check on May 15th
On May 19th, we will be sponsoring an easy, flat 10-mile bike ride to Alamo and back along the Iron Horse trail. Built into our trek will be a short 20-30 minute in Alamo to grab a snack or cold drink.
Mandatory ABC Bike Check: All participants need to bring both their bikes and helmets to the Troop meeting on May 15th for a mandatory inspection. My 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 from 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. I would like to have at least one adult for every 5 scouts attending this outing.
Contact Mr Carstensen (cell: 510-731-7513) for questions.
