Last minute ride add - have not ridden this ride for a year, and I need an excuse to eat ice cream at Broom's Bloom Dairy in that area!

The weather forecast looks awesome for tomorrow! See you at Thurmont Community Park tomorrow morning, but only if you are signed up to be a CWC Volunteer.  current/big_smile

Be sure to consider the drive time for a prompt arrival for your group start time.

Let's make a conscious effort to publicize the fun we have riding together by posting pics from our group rides on FaceBook. I have noted other regional clubs FB pages buzzing with ride pics after each weekend. Even if the ride leader is not a FB user, someone on the ride usually is - no need tag people in the photos. It could just be one piece of the puzzle to attract new members...

Agree that the lack of communications from Bike Virginia is puzzling. However, take note that 3 Day Bike About (https://3daybikeabout.com/) is planning rides in Virginia in Williamsburg and Strasburg. I enjoyed their inaugural Williamsburg event last spring.

Route 9 in Delaware, near the Reedy Point Bridge on the Flatlands Tour route, is closed. (on the metric - https://ridewithgps.com/routes/30258583 at about mile 20) Our small group of riders navigated the multiple layers of barriers and yellow tape, noting that the site was unoccupied for the weekend. The signage specifically warned against pedestrians and bicyclists passing through - and we would have turned back if anyone was there! Until complete, recommend following the vehicle detour by skipping the left at Pole Bridge Rd and Port Penn Rd at mile 14.8, and proceeding straight on Port Penn Rd towards Port Penn and the Augustine Beach area.

"a portion of Route 9 will be closed for the replacement of tidal flood gates. The planned closure will occur on Monday, October 4, 2021 and end on Friday, December 17, 2021" https://deldot.gov/About/news/index.sht … mp;id=8785



The volunteer rides have been moved from Saturday 08/28 to Sunday 08/29 due to a better chance of good weather on Sunday!

Hoping that everyone who planned for Saturday can flex to Sunday!

Less than 10 days left to sign up for the CWC 2021! Sign-up by September 1st to ride in the vent!

Status of the event for this year is unknown by me. However, you can find the routes as organized for the 2019 version of the event at:

https://ridewithgps.com/events/94344-flatlands-tour

The routes are also listed individually in the RWGPS club account library.

No guarantee on the century route, but I can vouch that the metric century route was valid last fall when I gave it a try.

Sad to see that the scenic Utica Covered Bridge was damaged and is closed for repairs. Seems that another lost truck driver misjudged the size of their vehicle - more at https://www.fredericknewspost.com/news/ … 51f98.html
