WHAT:  An overnight bicycle trip to Blue Mounds.  This is for bikers only this time (we will not have people drive out to meet us and grill out like last time).  Bikers only!  You do not have to be a pro-biker or in great shape to be able to do this ride!  Rain or shine!

WHEN:  Join us….September 25 – 26^TH (Saturday to Sunday).  Meet at 8 am on Saturday, September 25th at the parking lot next to the Sheraton on John Nolen Drive

WHO:  We can take up to 7 people.  The first to sign up, pay and notify us if you need to borrow gear are in! 

HOW:  Ask off of work, save your money, don’t assume you can’t do it. Get ready for an adventure….more details to come (where we are meeting the day of the ride, etc.)

Here’s how are trips are running now.  Simple steps.

1. Decide you want to come on a trip.  These trips are way cool.  You will learn more about yourself than you thought possible in 2 – 3 days.
2. Sign up, pay $30, and let us know (call or email us!) if you need to borrow any gear or have any questions at least 2 weeks before this trip starts (by Sept. 11th).  We have to set a deadline so we know how many people are coming, what gear is needed and how much food to buy.  This is another great opportunity to practice integrity, follow-through, deadlines, not making excuses, and planning ahead. 
3. Money.  This trip costs $30/person.  What a deal!   This includes food, gas, camping.  Please make your check out to The Recovery Foundation, put it in Jessie Kushner’s mailbox by September 11th, no later!!!!!  Talk to you primary counselor if you want to apply for a scholarship.  Once you have paid, you are in.  Wahoo!!!!!  No refunds after Sept. 11th. 
4. Gear.  See gear list posted next to this sheet. Let us know if you do not have something you need by Sept. 11th.  We will lend you what you need!
5. Please plan to attend a pre-trip meeting at Connections Counseling on Wednesday, Sept. 22^nd at 7 pm.  We will go over gear, food preferences, etc.
