The Reeves Creek Trail is finished!  Why not make the most of it by joining the inaugural Community Bike Ride event?

Stockbridge Mayor Lee Stuart & School Board Member Erik Charles Announce Community Bike Ride
Saturday, September 24th marks the first of many bike rides Mayor Stuart and Mr. Charles have planned for the new Reeves Creek Trail, which was completed on August 12th, 2011.  The community bike rides will leave Memorial Park at 9:00am and go for 5 miles before returning back to Memorial Park.  The route will include 3 miles of the Reeves Creek Trail and another 2 miles through the surrounding neighborhood.  
These rides are open to all ages and will continue at the same place and time every 4th Saturday of the month until April, when they will move to the 2nd and 4th Saturday of every month.  The only requirement to participate is that everyone must wear a helmet. 


When asked about their endeavors, Mr. Charles noted that he wanted “to inspire families to take charge of their health.”  Charles stated, “Each day brings us a new chance to make small but smart lifestyle changes that have big impacts on our health.”  Mayor Lee Stuart responded, “These rides are to motivate our community, including all of our families and friends, to get healthy and have fun doing so”. So, join the Mayor and Erik for a 5 mile bike ride around the City of Stockbridge.  “We will have a ball, while making smart choices for a healthier tomorrow!”
