Adopt-A-Highway Trash Pick Up and Ride to Earth Day
Description: The last pick up was done in November, and this will be the first of 2008, so all hands are needed. In response to several who complained that they would help, but our starting times were way
too early, we will be starting at the more civilized hour of 9, and expect to see those late sleepers in attendance. Since this date is EARTH DAY, after the job is completed, we will return to Laurel Park
Shopping Center and then ride down to the Earth Day festivities in Old Manchester (near Plant Zero on the south side of the Mayo or 14th St. Bridge), where the club will treat all of the pickers to lunch. As always, bring your gloves and wear long trousers over your riding costume.
Location: Meet at the south end of RABA's adopted segment, which is on Rt. 626 just across the RR tracks from the Elmont Market, at the intersection of Old Elmont Road, Ashland, VA 23005 on the ABC route.
