We have reserved Whitnall Park Area No. 5 starting at noon Sunday, Sept. 5 for our Labor Day weekend bike ride and picnic. The bike ride will start at 12:30 p.m. and return to Area 5 at 2 p.m.
Everyone is invited to the picnic, even if they will not be going on the bike ride.
Bring your own food and beverage (and chairs, in case there are not enough tables). There will not be a “dish to pass” this year. Dogs are allowed, but they must be on a leash. A parking lot is just across the road, as well as restrooms.
And, yes, bring your friends; they just might be interested in joining our club!

Lunch prior to the performance will be a choice of Herb Roasted Chicken Breast, Grilled Salmon (+ $6) or Vegetable Kabobs. It includes a salad and Apple Sheet Pie dessert, along with coffee or tea.
