Dear Trail Supporter,

     CRTT is sponsoring Spring Bike II - The Do-Over since the first was rained out on March 24.  Mark your calendar for this Sunday, April 29, 2012.  The ride will begin at Atwater's Bakery located at 815 Edmondson Avenue with registration beginning at 9:30 a.m. and the bike ride at 10 a.m.  The ride is free but donations are greatly appreciated.  This is a great time to join CRTT.     

Mug incentive

   George Brookhart, a CRTT Board Member and owner of Maryland Residential Realty, is offering an incentive to the first four people who join CRTT. Get a coffee mug and $10 gift card to CRTT. There are only 4 incentive mugs/cards remaining, so join today and support CRTT.

 May 18 is Bike To Work Day

Need Organizer to Lead Group To Baltimore City

    Usually on Bike To Work Day, Ray Bahr, a CRTT Board Member, lead a healthy convoy of cyclist from Sam's Bagels on Frederick Road in Catonsville and leads the group to the Gwynns Fall Trail and on to City Hall.  Unfortunately, Ray will be out of town at a conference this year and is unable to participate. 

     Bike To Work Day is May 18. Ray is looking for a couple of regulars to step-up this year and lead (and sag) the group. Send Ray an e-mail if you can help out.  CRTT will help with advertising the ride if a leader comes forward.
