HERE IS THE MAP for those that will be parking at the Bradfield Farms pool parking lot:

Sherman Branch Park is the white area on the map that says "Legend", "property line", etc.

Park at the PEACOCK LN POOL/CLUBHOUSE PARKING LOT. I should be there at that parking lot with a sign or something.

Then ride your bikes down SPANDRIL LN, to ENGLISH WALNUT LN. Where English Walnut dead-ends (on the left), there is a small opening in the woods roughly behind the water pumping equipment. This is an unofficial entrance to Sherman Branch. I'll try to tie some ribbon, or a balloon by the entrance, so you'll see it. I'll also tie ribbon or balloons along the fire road that leads to SB's main parking lot.

I'll forward my house number - 704-573-8411 - to my cell phone that morning, in case anybody has trouble finding the neighborhood, or parking lot. See you there!

Mark  Smiley

P.S. here's a zoom view of the ride from the pool to the park.

Unfortunately, no, it's a one shot deal (at least for now)...

If we purchase food that can't be cooked b/c of weather, well, maybe we can thank the swim club and donate it to them (spread some good will)...

A 40% chance of rain means there is a 60% chance of no rain, right?  We'll just need to roll with the punches...

I will be at Jetton this weekend...Thanks in advance to Sean, Mark and the others that have volunteered to assist!

Hey Sean, I will probably bring the drinks by sometime tomorrow. Looking at the weather radar it looks like if we do get any rain it won't amount to much. And as dry as the ground is it will soak any light stuff right up. Of course I said that two weeks ago several hours before my softball game got canceled due to rain! Not that I would want to put a bod omen on anything Lips Sealed

I picked up the TTB/Diva  pop-up and 4 fold up tables last night. I will be at the trail head with them by 8-8:30. Send a PM if anything else is needed.

I wasn't expecting that, quite the humbling experience. I wished I had one for all who were involved in this project. Many thanks to those that made this possible.

Do what you like. Stop hating people for their riding habits and get back to hating them for their skin color, religion, politics, and sexual orientation.
