It's Fri-yay! 🎉

If you're looking for something to do today, or already planning a bike ride, be sure to stop by the Whitetail Access on the Pine Creek Rail Trail! 🚴

As part of RemakeLearningDays, NPC will be there with Williamsport Bicycle Recycle and Tiadaghton Forest District.

NPC partnered with the Pine Creek Preservation Association and Tiadaghton State Forest to install several bike repair stations along the Trail. Stop by to learn about the tools available at the stations and how they can help keep you rolling if you run into trouble on a ride.

A special thank you to Remake Learning Days and BLaST IU 17 for helping provide bike repair kits and tire patch kits to share with trail users (while supplies last). Their support is helping more people get outside and enjoy the trail with confidence.

Stop by between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. to pick up your kit and say hi! 👋
