Roadside cleanup

Message from Don Lawrence
Carbondale Rideletter editor

Sandy Anderson and Rusty Morgan working with Ray Lenzi have worked out a plan for us to help in Southern Illinois roadside cleanup. Our place for cleanup is New Era Road which many of us cycle often throughout the year.

The plans are for us to meet at Murdale near the Murdale sign at 10 a.m. Wednesday, March 23 to get started on the cleanup.

New Era Rd has been closed off for construction so that will be an ideal and safe time. As I understand it safety vests as well as collection bags will be available. Bring yourselves and, if as I do, you have a litter stick (or other portable pickup device) you might want to bring that to avoid constant bending over.

If you have any questions call Sandy at (618) 893-4545 or Rusty at (618) 457-5404.
