President's Report for September

Greetings my fellow cyclists.   I hope you had time to get out and ride in August.  We started with Ashford Bicycle Week at the Sahara Creek Horse Camp.   Fred Johnstone rode to camp from Tacoma.  Thomas Harrison and Steve Brown joined Charlene and I.  We rode a backroad to Longmire for lunch on Tuesday.  On Wednesday we cleaned up the Old Hersey Road and then used it to ride to Elbe for lunch.  The fire smoke was thick on Thursday so we decided to go home one day early.

ForeverGreen Trails Update

FGT has been working hard to help our local government partners’ trail grants be more competitive. Specifically, we contributed to the applications and presentations for Pierce County’s Wilkeson to Carbonado extension of the Foothills Trail and the City of Fife’s section of the spuyaləpabš Trail, both of which are important for the realization of the “Tahoma to Tacoma” trail route. We will find out how these projects ranked later in the year and it will help inform our legislative priorities for the next session — the next State budget is how grant awards will be fulfilled.
