Archer Braid Trail Opening
Celebrate the grand opening of the Archer Braid Trail on Saturday, June 15th at 10:00 am at the Archer trailhead with a ribbon cutting ceremony, a bike parade, a bike rodeo, raffled prizes, free giveaways, bike helmet giveaway with free expert fitting, health screenings and more family-friendly fun. The trailhead is located at the base of the Archer water tower on US 27/41, about 0.1 of a mile south of Archer Rd.
We're looking for a few more volunteers to help with the Bike Rodeo. Email if you can help. Also email if you have something to donate for the raffle.
FDOT will have a representative there, so this event is a good opportunity for cyclists who support building more cycling infrastructure, and expansion of of Florida's multi-use trail system, to speak directly to the people who make it happen.
