PG County Action Alert

I think it

Overview from Charlie:
This trail will extend from the end of the current trail (Cherry Hill Rd. and Home Depot) under the beltway through USDA land to Selman road. Currently there is a trail in Selman park that continues up to Gunpowder rd. They are currently rebuilding Gunpowder rd which will/should (you never know) include a bike lane north. Eventually, this will go all the way to Fairland Regional Park. The Patuxent watershed area has many trails in the works, which will tie into this system.

Other points: Ikea and a local builder (I'll have to get their name) have promised some money for this trail. Ikea wants a spur of this trail to go into their parking lot. The trail will use one of the existing huge culverts that already pass under the beltway. Any bike path that crosses a major road is significant to all local bicyclists. This will be a major north/south route that will connect N.E. DC, College Park, Hyattsville, Mt. Rainier, Riverdale, Takoma Park to Beltsville, Laurel, Savage, Columbia and eventually Baltimore

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.
