This Sunday, March 8 at Triplett Park of US80 in Pooler, Trek will demo their line of mountain bikes courtesy of your friends at the Bicycle Link.  Bring your legs and your skills to try out the new bridges and get a last look at the last of the broken down bridges, because next week,

Help rebuild the bridges of Triplett!

Saturday, March 14, starting at 8am, join other enthusiastic local mountain bikers who have been renovating the bridges.  We were fortunate to have Chatham County step in to provide the materials, and the last project is a big one:  a 130′ span that will be dedicated to the memory of Jerry Jaycox.

Finally, while you’re thinking about rebuilding and shredding that singletrack out at Triplett, help to get some more local MTB action.  There is a petition circulating to get some singletrack built out in Claxton:  click here for the petition, or email Micah Whitley, micahwhitley [a t] frontiernet [dot] net for more details.
