Wednesday June 6th - North Park

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

At the end of the very fun Hartwood ride led by Maurice the DORCs decided that they would like to revisit North Park for next Wednesday’s ride. Meet at 6:00 PM at Thick Bikes or at the JC Stone field parking lot at 6:30 (or thereabouts - DORC time - you know).

Sunday June 3rd - Boyce

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

It has been decided that because neither Larry nor Colin has ever been to Boyce we will go there and they will get to see what they have been missing. Of course those of us who have been there know that they are missing some pretty sexy singletrack that winds around like the big cgi anaconda in that pitiful excuse for a movie of the same name. As usual we will meet at Thick Bikes at high noon or at the soccer field parking lot somwhere between 12:30 and 1:00.

2nd Annual Allegheny County Parks MTB Fest - June 20-24

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

Sponsored by the Pittsburgh Trails Advocacy Group
The purpose of this event is to meet other mountain bikers and get to know some of the county parks a little better. There is no charge to join us. You may want to bring some refreshments and snacks to share after the rides. We are asking that you have a knobby tired mountain bike in good working order. You should bring a helmet, water and enough energy to ride 2 hours of hills, roots and rocks. There will be a variety of ride levels. We hope that you can join us.
* For questions, contact the ride leaders
*Ride may be cancelled due to inclement weather. Please check the morning of the ride to make sure it is going on!
