Begin and end on the waterfront in rural Galesville on the West River from the Carrie Weedon Science Center parking lot.  We will ride at a leisurely bicycle pace of 10-12 mph.  The path is approximately 18 miles in length with a cut off to go ~13 miles.  A good season start ride for the warm weather rider who is just getting onto the saddle.  (Optional) Finish this ride at a relaxing social setting with fine food at the Pirate’s Cove Restaurant.  If the weather is nice perhaps at the outside Dock bar along the adjacent marina.  A bicycle helmet is required as for all rides.  The Carrie Weedon Loop, also is known as the Jazzercycle ride as in years past as jazz bands would play at the local restaurants so after he cycling the riders listened to the jazz.  The jazz bands don’t come around anymore yet the bike riding tradition continues.  There are port-a-potties in nearby parks and a High’s nearby with a bathroom and snacks.
