Big Marsh Convergence on Sat. 7/28

Choices, choices.... What do you want to do on Saturday? You could get on your bike and join one of the groups that's riding to Big Marsh.

Big Marsh Convergence has several starting points for large groups to ride to the park. I'm thinking of riding over to either the Pullman Porter Museum or Arcade Park in Pullman to meet up with one of the groups. There are additional meet-up locations in Hegewisch, East Side and Riverdale. The scheduled meet-up time is 10:30 a.m. Click here for more details.

If you've been curious about the park but have never been there, it features  a bike area with a variety of tracks and jumps and a large nature area.

Big Marsh Park workday Sat. 3/19

If you want to help with the work of building Big Marsh Park (mountain bike park and nature area), come out this Saturday 3/19 from 9 am to noon.  Here's where you find it - enter from Stony Island. You can reach this section of Stony Island from Doty (west side of Lake Calumet), 103rd or 122nd.

Hiking boots, work boots, or sturdy shoes you don't mind getting mud on are a good idea.  If you have work gloves you like, bring 'em, otherwise gloves will be available for use.
