It was a beautiful day for ride. Rode the Laurel, De Broadcreek Bike and Brew today with John Strauss, Jim Futrell, Terri Martin, Steve Alperstein, and Randy Kubetin (who was late for this pic). Great picturesque routes, great after party (as Terri is enjoying a refreshment) and Charlie and the Cooltones never disappoint. This is one of my favorite ride.
We’re excited to announce that Sussex Cyclists member Heidi Lerch is featured in this month’s Rails to Trails magazine! The article, "Trail Moments: The Fellowship of the Trail," highlights Heidi’s experiences riding with Sussex Cyclists and the joy of being part of our cycling community.
A big thank you to Heidi for showcasing the spirit of Sussex Cyclists and helping promote our club!

I want to thank everybody who came out this morning to Cape Henlopen State Park to help mark the posts along the bike trail. Thanks to John Eckenrode who started the efforts and to Bob Brown of Bike Delaware, and Sussex Cyclists for taking the lead in organizing this worthwhile effort. We can only hope that this makes a difference.

Today Sussex Cyclists manned a booth promoting “Safe and enjoyable cycling in Lower Delaware”. The event Road Wolves Community Day and Health Fair was hosted by the Road Wolves Motorcycle Club. Thanks to Jim Prettyman, Pat Miller, Luis Mercado, Boog Jacobs, Ilene Greenfield and Nancy Graham for volunteering and making for a fun, successful event. Sussex Cyclist was well represented and asked to participate in future events.

This year's Sussex Cyclists Annual Picnic at Trap Pond State Park was an absolute hit! With over 60 members and guests in attendance, the day was filled with laughter, great food, and amazing company. Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to making this event truly unforgettable! We can't wait to do it all again next year!
And a special thank you to the Social Committee Diane Daly, Joell Giler, John Kurpjuweit, Heidi Lerch, Allen Segal and Denny Shook for pulling it all together!
Thank you to everyone who volunteered this summer for the Bicycle Safety Checkpoints. We had 13 scheduled with a few rained out. Every Checkpoint was sufficiently manned. I didn’t need to ask for help at all which makes my job easier. Thanks again for everyone’s cooperation and support. It’s greatly appreciated for this great program.

The article below is from today's Cape Gazette:

The Division of Parks and Recreation’s proposed bike/pedestrian trail at Wolfe Neck in Cape Henlopen State Park is in limbo.
The site is the current location of the Sussex County Wolfe Neck Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility. The county had plans to convert the nearly 400-acre site to forest and provide access to the state park.
Agreements had been signed and grants applied for, the trail was designed and Sussex County had spent funds in 2022 to design a switch from spray irrigation to fixed-head pivot ground irrigation. The project was full steam ahead and expected to be completed in two to three years.
However, in June 2023, the joint project between Sussex County and the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control’s Division of Parks and Recreation hit a snag when significant cultural resources were found during a Phase 1 archaeological study on the proposed trail alignment, which now requires a Phase II study.

Todays Bicycle Safety Checkpoint was held in the extreme heat. Big THANKS to Heidi Lerch, Chris Braudy and Bill Weller who maned the checkpoint along with John Fiori of DelDot. Only two more checkpoints on the schedule. Still time to sign up.
