Bicycle Advisory Committee Ride
More wonderful signs that Frederick continues to move to improve bicycle accessibility.
Yesterday the Mayor's Bicycle Advisory Committee took a ride downtown to identify problem areas as well as investigate using bicycles as a way of touring Frederick's many historical sights. The formation of the Advisory Committee is one of many examples of Frederick's ambition toward becoming a Bicycle Friendly Community. These efforts are being spearheaded by the Frederick Bicycle Coalition (FBC). If this goal is as important to you as it is to us, support the cause by becoming a member of FBC.

Busy Weekend
This weekend was a busy one. Saturday was packed with friends, food, bikes and home-brew. Thanks to the host Steve who worked hard to put the event together, everyone had a blissful time.
Sunday The Bicycle Escape crew volunteered to support the first annual Ten Mile Race to benefit the Frederick YMCA. This also proved to be a great way to spend a morning. There were over 250 friendly runners keeping fit for a great cause.

Gambrill Night Mountain Bike Rides Return
The Bicycle Escape, in conjunction with M.O.R.E., is hosting night mountain bike rides at Gambrill State Park on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month through the end of April. Gambrill offers some of the most technical terrain in the region so these rides are for experienced mountain bikers only. It is also necessary to have a high quality lighting system. These are specialty, high powered lights with a minimum output of 10 watts or greater. Safe and properly functioning equipment is required by all riders. Helmets will be required to be worn by all riders at all times. The ride will leave from the main trailhead parking lot located off of Gambrill Park Road. The parking is on the right as you climb the mountain, if you reach an intersection at the top of the mountain, you have gone too far. Rides will leave from the parking area at 7 pm sharp and will last approximately 2 hours. Please allow enough time upon your arrival to sign-in, prepare yourself for the ride and be ready to hit the trail on time. Liability waivers must be signed by all riders and parking passes will be issued for each vehicle. We are in the park with special permission so these parking passes must be displayed on all vehicles! We must be out of the park by 10 pm. |
Pace for the rides will be moderately fast. Speed is not as important as technical riding ability.
Because this ride exists with special permission from the Department of Natural Resources riders must follow the guidelines below in order to participate.
- The group must stay together at all times
- Keep noise to a minimum
- Do not disturb wildlife
- Respect park rules
- Follow the guidelines set forth by Tread Lightly
Please send any questions regarding the ride to tom@thebicycleescape.com
