When: Sunday, September 13, 2015, 1:30pm.  We'll leave no later than 2 pm. We estimate that a leisurely rider will take 45-60 minutes to bike to Ox Bow. After the nature talk we'll bike back to CMC.

Why: Human and environmental fellowship

• We'll have a short environmental presentation at Ox Bow park.

Where: CMC parking to Ox Bow Park (7.5 miles one way)

Here's a map, from CMC to Ox Bow Park.  We'll get on the bike trail just east of the railroad crossing at 8th and Lincoln Ave.

Tips:

• If you have rarely or never ridden bike more than 5 miles without stopping, we recommend you go on a 5 mile bike ride before Sept 13.  It is good to get out and make sure everything is in good working order.
• Make sure your tires are pumped up, your brakes and gears work, and your seat is comfortable.  Local bike shops can help repair your bike and make sure it is adjusted to fit you.
• You will want water.  Invest in a big bike water bottle and water bottle cage if you have none.
• You may want to bring along a snack.  You can find Clif bars, PowerBars, etc. at the grocery.
• Wear a good fitting helmet.  They are much cheaper than a trip to the emergency room.
• Wear athletic and/or biking clothing.  Regular clothes get uncomfortable very quickly.
• Know your physical limits.  You can turn around to return home at any point.
