First Adopt-A-Road Pickup of 2007
Come out and get trashed with the Frederick Pedalers on Saturday May 12th as we do our part to keep FredCo beautiful by picking up trash along Bethel Road between Opossumtown Pike and Mountaindale Road. It's always a fun time as we never know what kind of treasure we'll find.Meet us around 8:00 am at the Bethel E.L. Church at the corner of Opossumtown Pike and Mountaindale Road.
Long pants, a long sleve shirt, sturdy shoes and work gloves are recommended.
Ride of Silence
Join the Frederick Pedalers Bicycle Club on Wednesday May 16th as we raise cycling awareness during Bicycle Safety Month and honor those cyclists who have been killed on our nation's roads. This 10 mile ride will proceed in silent memorial at 10-12 mph through the streets of downtown Frederick obeying all laws and traffic controls to demonstrate cyclist's intent to safely share the road with other vehicles.This ride coincides with over 180 other Ride of Silence events at locations all across the U.S. sharing the goal of promoting safer streets for all.
See the May Ride Schedule for location and time as well as http://www.rideofsilence.org for more information on the evolution of this event.
