Cycle to Celebrate Blackwater Refuge

The Chesapeake Bay Foundation is hosting a bike ride to celebrate Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge and the Bay. The ride is being held on Saturday, October 14 from 10 am to 4 pm near Cambridge, Md.

Friends and supporters of the Chesapeake Bay are invited to spend a day touring Dorchester County and Blackwater Refuge, which at this time of year offers spectacular scenery, a host of migrating waterfowl and a variety of biking, birding and walking opportunities.

Stop in at the Open House at Stump Farm (directions below) to get your cue sheet/route map (25 mile or 5 mile cycling routes offered) and to enjoy music, local exhibitors, kid's activities, and local food all day.

This event is also part of CBF's new Cyclist for the Bay program - www.cbf.org/cyclist . For more information on the Open House, visit www.cbf.org/events or contact them at hotcinfo@cbf.org or 410/543-1999.
