Tour du Greater Homewood / Baltimore Bike Pageant


Hello! My name is Frankie Gamber, and I work for Greater Homewood Community Corporation. Our Waverly Main Street program is celebrating the Waverly Village National Night Out Kick-Off Parade this Saturday, August 2, and we have two cycling activities tying into it:

9:30 a.m.: Tour du Greater Homewood
A relaxed bike ride through north central Baltimore , winding through Roland Park, Hampden, Remington, Station North, Waverly, and Ednor Gardens . Begins at the Roland Park water tower ( Roland Ave. and University Parkway ) and ends at 35th and Greenmount, just in time for the start of the National Night Out Kick-Off Parade. Free t-shirt for everyone who rides!

11 a.m.: Baltimore Bike Pageant
Sign up to ride in the National Night Out Kick-Off Parade, and compete for great prizes from One Less Car, Proteus Bicycles, Light Street Cycles, and REI. Parade route is Greenmount Avenue between 35th and 29th Streets. Costumes welcome!

Mayor Sheila Dixon will be walking in the parade, and 92Q’s Street Team will be there. We hope you’ll join us – and please spread the word to your cycling contacts! For more information, please visit <a href="http://www.waverlymainstreet.blogspot.com">www.waverlymainstreet.blogspot.com</a>;.

Best,
Frankie Gamber

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
