Come learn about the bicentennial dream and community initiative that created a sustainable Bicycle trail that still runs across the nation, with 50 miles of US Bike Route 76 running right through Rockbridge.  Virginia Tech Professor Tom Ewing has created a website and 30-episode podcast that tracks the route across Virginia, spotlighting local histories and distinctive cultural themes, including episodes on Natural Bridge, Irish Creek, and the Blue Ridge Parkway.  After the program, enjoy the chance to talk with fellow cyclists, and get a free bike tune-up in the parking lot: thanks to the W&L Outing Club, and Andy Dunlap (Lexington Bike Repair LLC).
