I'm staying in Charleston, WV tonite after having finished my first Safe Routes classes at Piedmont Elementary. Taught about 100 kids today, another 67 to go tomorrow and I'm still enjoying it. I think I may be cut out for this. My hosts are the Jesse family who are keeping me at their beautiful Southern Mansion on the East end, a block from the school.
While riding downtown today I bumped into my friend Dennis Strawn who I accompanied with the WV contingent at the Bike Summit last month. He passed on the photograph that was taken of us all with Congressman Rayhall on lobbying day of the summit.
Tomorrow I'll finish the classes at 1pm, then head to Clarksburg to help set up a class there to be held in conjunction with the bike races on Saturday. We've still got WAY more work on Saturday than we have volunteers, if you can help out please call me. There are also opportunities on Monday when we give our class at the Rock Forge Neighborhood house.
It's been a busy day, I'm off to bed.
Nick
