| Bike Lanes Officially Added to US 421 |
They are striped! No need to ride the sidewalk on your way back from a Castleford Loop. No need compete with motorists for the full lane on your way to town from New Market; you have your own now. Great work to the BAC members who were instrumental in organizing the meeting between local officials and DOT to make this happen. Thanks to everyone who were involved. Lets keep things like this happening by continuing to attend meetings and through voicing public comments.

BAC Volunteers Help with BSG 2012
|
Helping support over 700 riders on the busy Blue Ridge Parkway takes some effort, and at this year's BAC-supported Aide Station of the Blood, Sweat, & Gears, we had a record number of volunteers. BAC annually supports this first stop at the Grandview Overlook. This year, we received praise from BSG Directors as well as the Blue Ridge Parkway staff for our organization and coordination of the support. Thanks to all of those who came out!
