Our cycling club North Raleigh Gyros has Adopted-A-Highway at Purnell Road at New Light (right by the fire station in Wake Forest). It's a 2.5 mile stretch that ends just past the bridge as you approach Woodlief.

So, if you have some time and would like to help beautify our messy state we would love to have you come out and join us; if you have a teen or tween this might count as community service. There is no way we can do the entire stretch in one weekend so we are taking two weekends and if you need to leave a little early that's not a problem as we would just appreciate your attendance.

Come on out
Saturday, February 20th, 2:00 - 4:00 PM and/or
Saturday, February 27, 2:00 - 4:00 PM

Please personal message me if you are interested so I can be on the look out for you.
Thanks
Donna
