Another Successful Adopt-a-Highway Cleanup! |
Because we had such a great turnout for our quarterly clean-up of CFC’s “adopted” portion of River Road yesterday we complete the Adopt-a-Hwy clean-up in 32 minutes flat!!
This was the first “pick-up” of our newly assigned section of River Road beginning at the intersection with Sanders road and running south for two miles to River Breeze Road (for the past 22 years CFC has had the two miles north of Sanders Road).
We collected 17 bags of highway litter which will be picked up by DOT and 10 bags of recyclable cans, glass bottles and plastic containers. I especially want to thank Julie Brown who took the recyclables to a recycling center |

Bethel Paris presents $1000 check to ECGA |
|
 Dennis Markatos-Soriano accepts $1000 check from the Cape Fear Cyclists, presented by Bethel Paris at the conclusion of the cycling tour of the St. John's River to the Sea Loop in Florida, November 14, 2009. This money was raised through the CFC “Return of the Hot 100” in September 2009. The ECGA will use these funds for their NC committee and toward the hiring of a Trail Liaison for the ECGA South Atlantic region which includes SC, NC and VA. An additional new portion of the East Coast Greenway will likely be dedicated in New Hanover County in the autumn of 2010. |

Off-Road Biking Organization Being Formed |
Off-Road riding in the Cape Fear region has been growing dramatically in recent years. Of the approximately 500 CFC members some 100 are Mountain bikers. Of those, about 20 have been doing some very hard volunteer trail work at Blue Clay making it a great location to do some “off-roading”. The same folks also arranged for two expert trail builders from the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA) to come to Wilmington last month to do some trail building training and meet with County officials.
As we looked at the scope of off-road riding it became apparent that a separate off-road organization would provide the MTB riders an organization specifically designed for their interests and activities. Barry Wray and Erol Caglarcan found a solution through a subsidiary organization of IMBA called SORBA (Southern Off-Road Biking Association) which has chapters in the Southeast. Here is an extract form the SORBA’s website that explains their mission:
