Bike Walk Baldwin

Time for another work day at Bartram! We have our annual NICA race coming up in a few weeks and need to get our trails ready for nearly 1,000 young guests. 9AM, Saturday, October 24th Leaf blowers and loppers needed (bring your own tools). If a good crowd comes out, we can be finished by lunchtime.

Time for a work day at Bartram! Bike Walk Baldwin, Old Capital Racing and GMC Prep Mountain Bike Team will be hosting a work day at Bartram on Saturday, August 15th from 8am to 4pm to get our trails ready for the upcoming Bartram PM race. If you enjoy hiking, running or biking on these trails, please come out and show them some love. We need leaf blowers, loppers and helpers to rebuild 2 of the bridges.

And that’s a wrap for the 2020 April Fools Ride! I can’t thank our volunteers and sponsors enough for helping us give our Middle Georgia riders a fun event (wi...th gorgeous weather)! Special thanks to Adam Heagy and Oconee Outfitters for saving the day with powdered sports drink... evidently there is a huge shortage of Gatorade powder everywhere and for keeping our riders safe with awesome SAG support. Thank you Angie Dalrymple Martin and the Milledgeville-Baldwin County Chamber for getting up crazy early to host our first rest stop and to all the coaches and student athletes from Old Capital Racing and GMC Prep MTB teams who pitched in to make this event happen. Huge thanks to Comfort Farms, Blue Goose on Main and Baldwin County Fire Rescue for hosting our rest stops again this year! We’re looking forward to 2021 and actually being to host this thing in the spring! See more

Good evening everyone. This is the post that many of you have been waiting on details on the rescheduled 2020 April Fools Ride. As posted earlier, the RIDE I...S ON! We will host the 2020 April Fools Ride on July 25th. The ride will be held as a show-and-go format. Registration will be open from 7am to 9pm. For those who want to wait until day of to register, you can arrive any time between those hours, pay, sign a waiver and head out on the course. For all pre-registered riders and those wishing to speed up the process, you can download the waiver from here (http://bikewalkbaldwin.org//07/WAIVER-OF-LIABILITY_Single.), print, sign, scan or take a picture and email to me at [email protected]. If you have pre-registered and email a signed waiver to me, you are welcome to show up as early as you like to get started with the ride then stop by registration when you finish and pickup your t-shirt. I am going to place the ride t-shirt order on Monday, July 13th and will not be ordering any extra shirts. So if you want a shirt, please go ahead and register (http://bikewalkbaldwin.org/april-fools-ride) before 8am, July 13th. Unlike previous rides, our rest stops will only be open for the specific hours listed below. These hours should accommodate most all riders who start between 7am and 9am. We are still working to confirm exact rest stop locations and will let everyone know as we get closer to the ride date. In order to minimize the risk of spreading germs and viruses, we will only be serving individually packaged food (sandwiches, fig newtons, bananas) at the rest stops. Volunteers will be onsite to hand out food as riders arrive and to ensure that we minimize the number of riders gathered at any time. They will also have containers to refill your water bottles for you. I know that this is not an ideal situation for the rest stop, but it is the best we can do to stay in compliance with local, state and federal guidelines so we can host the event. Rest Stops Open Close Rest Stop 1 (All) 7:15am 11:00am Rest Stop 2 (All) 8:00am 12:30pm Rest Stop 3 (64 & 80 only) 9:15am 3:00pm Please don’t hesitate to email me at [email protected] if you have any questions. Thanks and I look forward to seeing all of you on July 25th!

Don't forget, we have our final information session this afternoon at 5PM @ Bartram Forest. If you have (or know) a student in grades 6-12 that would be intere...sted in being part of the fastest growing sport in America, bring them out today to learn about the team and join us for a fun ride around Bartram trails.
