We will provide a picnic lunch today. Bring a swimsuit and towel, sunscreen, full water bottle, water shoes or old sneakers and sunglasses (optional). Bring a small backpack (book bag) to carry your stuff.

Tuesday… 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM - Today we will be riding our bicycles. We may ride between 10 and 12 miles total. We will start by checking the bicycles and making any needed adjustments. We will go over bicycle safety rules. Finally, we will leave for our ride. We will probably ride along the  new bike path that parallels the Parkway and look for hidden items. Afterwards, we will eat lunch, play some games (maybe a round of disc golf) and go swimming at the beach or maybe the slip-n-slide.
