Ride #4: Earth Day in Dartmouth

There is no better way to spend Earth Day than discovering Dartmouth’s beautiful trails. The tour around Lake Banook will be guided by experts from the Ecology Action Centre to discuss the most recent updates on the Sawmill River daylighting project. In the spirit of Earth Day, we will also be handing out bags at the beginning to collect any garbage we see along our trails. We will end the ride at the famous Two If By Sea for complimentary baked good, a warm drink and friendly hang-out session.
Starting point is the South end of Sullivan’s Pond but there will be a group leaving from Alderney Landing at 9:30am to meet up for the 10am start time.
Apr 30, 2017 – 3:00 PM
We will be celebrating and incredible month of biking with the ribbon cutting of the bicycle corral.
