October 20-23 – Biking Campout to the VA Creeper Trail
The October campout is be to the Damascus/Abingdon, VA area and riding the Virginia Creeper Trail. You must let us know (Yes or No) by end of the meeting Oct. 12. For those of you that may not know the cost for all campouts are included in the club dues. The cost for meals for parents that aren't on the regular staff is $2.50/meal.
For those that can be there we will load as many bicycles as possible on Wednesday night between 6:30-7:30 AM.
On Thursday we will start loading the trailers in the church parking lot on at 10:30 AM and leave as close to 11 AM as possible on Thursday, October 20. Please bring a lunch with you since we won’t be stopping to eat on the way. It's about a five hour drive to get there. This campout will be over fall break.
Most of you have bicycles that you have or can borrow. Please check to make sure that your Pathfinder's bicycle is in good working order (no flat tires, brakes work, etc.). This is not a trip for someone one who doesn't know how to ride a bike. Please do not send your child with a bike that he/she has not ridden before. (And yes, it has happened before...). Everyone must wear a helmet while riding their bikes. You will also need to have a way to carry a lunch on water while on the trail both days. Also make sure to bring some type of rain gear that you can ride in (not an umbrella).
