🌦Of course, it’s summer in Charlotte, and the forecast calls for a possibility of thunderstorms (like it pretty much seems to every day!) so keep an eye out on our socials for updates tomorrow in case we have to postpone again.

But hopefully we’ll all be able to get together for a social ride at Sherman Branch to celebrate and support the LGBTQ community!

🔥All are welcome for this casual ride, and we’ll fire up the grill when we’re done.

Big thanks to all the people and trail gnomes who Big thanks to all the people and trail gnomes who came out to help give @rockybranchpark_nc some TLC this morning. With a big group we were able to get a lot done on clearing drains, fixing bad ruts and improving problem areas.  Special thanks to the people who came out for their first ever trail work day! Well deserved pizza at the end to thank everyone for a sweaty but satisfying morning!
