Kathy Zepp Imhoff and Denny Shook assisted DelDot today in making a Bicycle Safety Video. Scenes were shot in Rehoboth Beach along Coastal Hwy and Rehoboth Ave. It was fun making this informative video.

The Delaware Department of Transportation will host a public workshop on the North Bethany Bicycle & Pedestrian Corridor Study at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, May 8, at the South Coastal Library, 43 Kent Avenue in Bethany Beach.

Tonight’s wine tasting event was a huge success. Everyone had a great time. Our own Jim Futrell, a professional sommelier gave an outstanding demonstration and explanation on wines. Thanks to the Social Committee, lead by Heidi Lerch for this awesome night that will be talked about for a long time.

Allen Segal, John Kurp and Denny Shook were seen manning the Sussex Cyclists booth at the Healthy Kids Day at the Rehoboth Beach YMCA on Saturday!

Biggest turnout to date and great weather to boot! Thank you to all who partipated!

Neither earthquake nor a spontaneous WRDE interview would stop our own Bill Froh from completing his Crooked Hammock ride. He started with group one and finished with group two after the mid-ride interview. He made the editor's cut and was on the 6 o'clock broadcast. Well played, Bill.

Below is an email sent today from Bill Weller, Sussex Cyclists Advocacy Director:

Hi friends,

Just a quick email to share with you the plans of the Sussex County Land Trust for trails and trailheads in Sussex County as reported by the Cape Gazette earlier this week. Some quick highlights:

• Development of the Hopkins Preserve, 52 acres on Sweetbriar Rd near US-9 that includes a multi-use trail along Sweetbriar Rd, interior trails around a pond, and access from the Georgetown-to-Lewes Trail;
• Hudson Park, 30 acres at Cool Spring Road and US-9 where last year they opened a trailhead and parking lot with access to the Georgetown-to-Lewes Trail with more development planned;
• Forest of Broadkill Preserve, 300 acres along Shingle Point Road and Gravel Hill Road, that will include a mountain bike trail among other trails;
• Gills Neck Road Trail, that connects to the Junction & Breakwater Trail; and
• Description of several other large properties being either developed or in the process of being purchased.

Happy & Safe Riding!
