We will start (8 am) and end (4 pm) at Reedy Creek each day, with a daily safety check ride through Forest Hill Park to make sure everyone’s gear is ready for the day.

The first four days will be 10-mile rides and Day 5 will be a 22-mile ride.  This will meet the distance requirements for the 50-Miler Award; and it should cover all of the trail/mixed surface bike trip requirements for Cycling Merit Badge.

Each day will also include two hours of conservation service work.  Participants must bring a bicycle, helmet, water bottle, and sack lunch, at a minimum.  Recommend bringing Scout essentials.

The routes will be:
Day 1 - Gear check and ride from Forest Hill Park to Belle Isle and back;
Day 2 - Ride from Forest Hill Park to Ancarrow and back, with side trip around Tredegar;
Day 3 - Ride from Forest Hill Park to Maymont/Byrd Park and back;
Day 4 - Ride from Forest Hill Park to Pony Pasture and back; and
Day 5 - To be decided on by participants - most likely a combination of portions of the previous four routes.

We will need a few adult leaders each day.  Ideally this could be a volunteer from each participant’s troop/crew. Participants should be 11 years or older, or 10 years old and have finished the fifth grade.
