New Start Location For August 30th Trek the Trails
Towpath Ride to Begin at Rockhill Park
(August 26, 2011) – The Trek the Trails Ride on Tuesday August 30th will have a new start location due to a construction delay.
Next Tuesday’s ride will start at Rockhill Park located on Catalpa Street near the intersection of West Jefferson Boulevard and Freeman Street. The 8 mile ride begins at 6pm and will follow the Towpath Trail to the new boardwalk near Engle Road.
