Join RI Nemba for an introduction to mountain biking.
We’ll explore the Big River Management Area in West Greenwich in a low pressure, family-friendly atmosphere.
We” go over some basic mountain biking skills and talk about safety & trail etiquette.
Don’t have a mountain bike yet? We’ll stick to gentler trails so a hybrid would be ok…

First Dog Ride is next Sunday June 5th, 9:00am at Big River. Rt 3 & Burnt Saw Mill rd (go down to the lower parking area so we are away from the cars on Rt 3). You must bring at least one dog to ride with ….
The plan is to have fun, ride an appropriate amount for what dogs & riders that show up.
Bring dogs that are socialized (have the dogs make sure their owners are socialized too) ….
Last year we had one with about 6 dogs (rainy day so a lot didn’t show). It was a blast. I think the more the merrier. Chaos can be fun….
RSVP so I have an idea who’s interested…

There are three of these planned for the summer so far….

Great job done by the efforts of many Sunday
at the Big River Fun Ride !
Alan did a fantastic job of organizing the event and getting all the tasks divided up among the volunteers (using the hugely helpful task list from Craig (mr healthcare) & Jim (the bugman) from last year:
Rob (mr. silent) laid out a killer trail route of 6-10-18 & 24 miles
James (the bugman), Rob (mr. silent), and Fast Freddy with the support of Lynn (smiling when ever I see her) all did the best job ever of arrowing the routes Saturday afternoon (as Jim said, 6hrs on the bike with 3hrs of riding ~ a lot of work) as well as rechecking the route Sunday morning.
Registration was handled by Andrew (the bomber), Andrea (knee socks), Tina (ms. RV), The better half of Fast Freddy and significantly prettier~ Michele & daughter, and Derreck (sideburns)
Leo (mr. waterstop) preformed a short theater piece on mtbking (a 4hr show) at the water stop on Pump House.
Bart (master brewer) lugged in the gear for the second stop by the water tower.
Food was there due to the efforts of Wayne (relaxed) and Glenn (with significant Relaxed wife support)
I got to talk to folks all day (7hrs), that was what Alan told me to do & I do follow HIS instructions.
Scott (mr. smiles) now a fulltime personal assistant to Alan did a terrific job speaking for Alan…
4 arrow take down crews:
Mike (Bart’s son), & Kevin
Fast Freddy & Craig (healthcare)
Rob (mr. silent)
me (huffin & puffin pete)
Paul helped breakdown
and I LOVED the fact that our super hero and former president, Jim the amazing Grimley was able to show up, pay and ride and not have to do a thing. That’s the way a mature volunteer organization should work !
best wishes
& thanks to all
