The group of volunteers help keep up the trail and promote it, said Enni Gregas, mem- ber of the trail association. The event encour- ages people to be active and gives people a chance to see the trail, she added. “It’s beautiful and it’s scenic,” she said. Little kids can learn to ride their bikes, she said, and seniors can ride safely all while staying off the highway. Gregas said bike trails and recreation bring people into the area. “It (the trail) contributes to the health of the community,” she said. A duet bike was at the event for those who wanted to ride, but may have physical limita- tions which prevent them from doing it safe- ty. “We are so proud of the duet bike,” Gregas said. The bike gives a person who may not feel comfortable riding the chance to experience the thrill of biking said Doug Hippe, coordi- nator for duet bike program.
