Wheels Down Riding Forward
Hi, PORC Supporters!
We have all been impacted by Covid-19 in ways nobody could have fully predicted. Each of us has faced varied challenges as we adjust to the "new normal" and try to stay wheels-down and rolling forward. However, if anything positive can be said about living in a pandemic, it might be that many new friends have discovered the amazing gift that is our local trails. If you have been out for a ride, run or walk on our trails lately, you certainly have perspective on the explosion of visitors. Let's remember to welcome our new visitors and show them support. After all, that is why PORC is here.
If dealing with a pandemic wasn’t enough Hurricane Sally wreaked havoc on our city and local trails. The trails took major damage with many sections blocked by large fallen trees and debris. However, our resilient club members have clocked hundreds of volunteer hours to restore our trails for all to access. Both trails at Muscogee and the University of West Florida are back and open. There are still some areas we need to work on but the majority of the trails are open so get out there and ride.
Are you feeling lonely out on the trails with all the social distancing? No worries! We have several events coming up that are sure to get your cranks spinning. Here are a few examples. Just remember that if you come to one of these events, keep 6 feet from others and make sure to bring a mask. We will be glad to see you, but don't want your cooties.
