Report: The Three Notch Trail ride was offered for the May Metric as an alternative for those riders who prefer not to have to share their cycling route with vehicular traffic and/or desired a shorter distance. Everyone seemed to have gotten their monies worth, and for at least half of our group, this was their first time riding the 3NT in its entirety. A good number of other trail users, mostly closer to Baggett Park. Very little to report in the way of wildlife sightings, other than a few rabbits, one snake, and probably a domesticated black cat.
The Club's trail ride offerings continue to be a good way for newer riders or those returning to bicycling to get some miles ridden in a stress-free environment.
