From BACA...

We hope you're enjoying the summer and getting an opportunity to do lots of bicycling. We see increasing numbers of bicyclists commuting to work and riding the River Trail. Please mark your calendar for September 4th for the next BACA meeting. Pam Gluck, Executive Director of American Trails, will talk about the upcoming National Trails Symposium. Please plan on attending to show Pam that we appreciate American Trails choosing Little Rock/North Little Rock for the National Trails Symposium which will draw nearly 1000 participants from around the country. For more information on the Symposium, see http://www.americantrails.org/2008.
