Live in Sonoma County, California and tired of seeing litter all over your favorite back roads when riding your bicycle? The 'ABC ride' on April 15 is an opportunity for cyclists in the area to clean up the backroads by locating illegal dumping and substantial garbage sites so they can be cleared. Volunteer road cyclists are needed to follow strategic rides, spot illegal dumping sites and help designated lead riders acquire dumping locations along specific routes.
GPS locators have been generously donated by REI of Santa Rosa, and will be operated by designated lead riders. The lead riders will be taking the volunteer riders as “spotters” out on these routes and will be responsible for returning with the data. Four strategic routes throughout the county have been identified where Sonoma County Public Works can follow on a separate day and pick up the rubbish. The A,B & C rides will depart from Helen Putnam Plaza at 9:00am, and the D ride will depart from Sonoma Plaza at 9:00am.
