4/14/2016 0 Comments TRECYCLE 2016My bags are packed and there are plans for 234 trees and 22 shrubs to be planted in response to TRECYCLE 2016. $1,066 was raised by at least 30 donors and matched with an additional $1,230 from cities and parks, and other private donations. Thank you TRECYCLE supporters! The forecast is for 0% chance of rain Friday through Monday, highs in the 70's, and low temps in the upper 40's. I'll be riding a green Trekker recumbent trike and folks are welcome to join me. I'll be crossing the Purple People bridge into Newport, KY for Warmshowers lodging Friday night (thank you Christine & Jeff!) and I have reservations at small unheated cabins in Spring Valley and Bellefontaine on nights 2 & 3. My timeline is attached, the link to the RidewithGPS route is: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/11846991 I am excited about meeting Rick Forrester who is the mastermind behind the Friends of the Little Miami State Park plan to plant some 195 trees near Loveland, OH. Janet Slater,also of the Friends will be meeting us for lunch at noon at the Train Stop near Foster, OH. And I am very excited about being part of the opening ceremonies for the Cincinnati Earth Day celebration on Saturday, thanks to Standish Fortin. Thank you also to my wife Michele, Chuck Berry and Reuben Mees who have offered to ride portions of the trail with me on Sunday. Thank you to Nathan Pilling and Danielle Coots who have gotten some articles in the local press about TRECYCLE. And thank you to tree leaders in the following towns: Doug Crabill in Urbana, Shelley Moore in Bellefontaine, Macy Reynolds & Anna Bellisari in Yellow Springs and Ken Bishwith the Russ Nature Reserve. I will be blogging to my Weebly website and posting to Facebook (see links below). “Between every two trees is a doorway to a new world.” - John Muir “Life is like riding a bicycle; we have to go ahead before we know we are right. Our knowledge is very limited, and we walk mostly by faith.” ~G.R. Dodson, 1908
