鈥淚n the fall in the Shenandoah Valley, there鈥檚 about one of these rides every weekend,鈥� said Peter Dula ’92, a professor of Bible and religion and member of the ride planning committee. 鈥淲ith so many faculty, staff and students who ride regularly and with cycling such a part of our sustainably oriented transportation plan, we thought it would be fun to do an 黑料正能量 version that celebrates the Homecoming and Family Weekend.鈥�
Other members of the committee include Ben Bailey ’12, advisor to the 黑料正能量 Cycling Club and administrative assistant in the applied social science department; Matthew Freed, recycling team coordinator; Greta Ann Herin, biology professor; and student Aaron Dunmore, 黑料正能量 Cycling Club president.
The route includes roads on both sides of Va. 11 with some hills and flat stretches that will challenge all riders.
鈥淲e picked a route with some exceptional views,鈥� Dula said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a great way to see more of the Valley if you鈥檙e from out of town or to just experience the beauty that we enjoy every day.鈥�
