TRY-A-BIKE JAMBOREE 2017!

Sunday August 20th at 10 AM - 3 PM   https://www.facebook.com/events/1064642637003779/?acontext=%7B%22action_history%22%3A[%7B%22surface%22%3A%22dashboard%22%2C%22mechanism%22%3A%22calendar_tab_event%22%2C%22extra_data%22%3A%22[]%22%7D]%2C%22ref%22%3A1%2C%22source%22%3A2%7D   Come one and all to our 7th Annual Try-A-Bike Jamboree on August 20th! Bicycle enthusiasts from around the region will bring a variety of bikes and trikes from their personal collections and allow short test rides around the half-mile paved oval loop normally used for racing. For less experienced riders, the flat interior surface of the track (a former driver's ed course) provides a traffic-free area to get a feel for something they have never tried before. Recumbents and trikes, tandems, tall bikes, unicycles, cargo bikes, fixies, trailers, e-assist bikes, and whatever else we can scrounge up will be available for you to take out for a spin. And we usually have a demo Port Authority bus bike rack, so you can practice racking your bike at your leisure. **We will update this page when specifics become available.** Volunteers will be on hand to point out which bikes are available for test rides and to adjust seat heights. Bike-based tailgating and picnicking under the shade trees is encouraged. Bathrooms and vending machines are available at the neighboring Zone 5 Police Station. No dogs please. Helmets and waivers required. A map and directions to the track are here: https://goo.gl/maps/ 85oavj2wkpx

@Stu, What was that woman's name who I wanted to help her get from Shadyside to Aspinwall sometime this week or weekend?

I am trying to remember the conversation. Could have been Lori Flynn, could also been someone I don't know.

Ok, I think I remember her saying something like Lori. I did not know her last name or how to spell her first name due to multiple possible spellings. Thank you.   P.S.  Does she use the forum?
