     On Sunday, April 14 at 8:30 am Steve Mackey will lead an ADK bike trip from Canal Park in Fort Ann to Rathbuns for breakfast (pancakes and maple syrup!). 24 miles with hills (it's Washington County, duh). Call Steve at 518-793-6484 to join.

     The Salem April Fools Race must to be getting a little slower with age (just like me!). It has dropped back a week this year to Saturday, April 13 with races starting at 9 am. Some of the hills will still make a fool of you.

     It's the fourth year for The Great North: Battenkill Valley bike rides. Various options leave from Cambridge on Saturday, May 4. Beer and apple pie after!

     Finally, it's not all fun and games. On Thursday, April 18 anytime from 5 to 8 pm you can learn more about Boralex's planned Fort Edward Solar Project. The open house event will be in the Durkeetown Church, Town of Fort Edward. Something like this involves a substantial change to Washington County's landscape and economy. This is a chance to ask questions and learn more.
