Post Event Update:
We had a great turnout on a beautiful fall day. Many enjoyed either the trail ride or the bike infrastructure tour. We celebrated Dunwoody’s first bike repair station, and had a great time during the picnic social at Pernoshal Park.
Pernoshal Park Pavilion; Sunday, October 9, 2016 Joe Seconder, and his following of bicycle enthusiasts of the “Bike Walk Dunwoody” started the afternoon events with a 2:00pm with a road ride around 20 miles. Bikers saw the new and improved bike friendly riding conditions on the roadways in Dunwoody. Then at 3:00pm bikers rode on the recently finished Trailway from Chamblee-Dunwoody Road at Pernoshal Road to Brook Run Park. The activities ended with the ribbon cutting ceremony of a Public Bike Repair Station installed on the trail behind the pavilion followed by a Picnic. Everyone who participated.
