Well, here's the latest art for this project, as we develop the concept of the bike ride.

Thing is, if you give someone a bicycle, they'll want to ride it. But we need to change our perspective when we get to the dam. People will naturally want to ride their bike along the 3 miles of trails, and that just won't work. The state park can not have hundreds of people riding bikes along that trail - it just doesn't meet the standards set up by the state.

I know, we're not hundreds of people. In fact, we may only be a dozen or so. But we are designing this event so that hundreds of people may enjoy it in the future. Besides, when you ride a bike along a narrow trail, you spend most of your time staring at the dirt in front of you, and the scenery along this trail - right along the water - is too beautiful to miss. So let's walk the walk, shall we?

Yours at 1 mph swim, 3 mph walk, 5 mph paddle & 12 mph bike,
