[Vision2020] bike and gaze

[Bill London]

Please join us for the fourth annual Mid-Summer Evening Bike Ride and Star-Gazing Event.  This free event is sponsored by the Paradise Path Task Force and The Palouse Astronomical Society.

We will meet at Mountain View Park in northeast Moscow at 8:30pm on August 12, 2005, and then enjoy a warm summer's night bike ride on Paradise Path and the City Bicycle Route starting at Mountain View Park and ending at the UI Observatory on the Old Pullman Highway at the western edge of Moscow.

Telescopes will be located at the UI Observatory and will be staffed by knowledgeable astronomers from the Palouse Astronomical Society. The moon will be very favorable, just shy of a quarter, and the peak of the Perseid showers should be visible.

To join, register at Mountain View Park at 8:30 p.m. and receive your free glow-in-the-dark necklace and enter the free drawing. The following wonderful local small businesses have donated prizes for the drawing: Salmon River Experience, Hyper Spud, Tri-State, BookPeople, UI Wellness Program, Paradise Creek Bicycle, Follett's Mountain Sports, Casa de Lopez, Mikey's Gyros, Wine Company of Moscow, Camas Prairie Winery, One World Cafe, Wheatberries, Twisters, TyeDye Everything, Mothers Imports, Wild Women Traders,  and The Knit Knot Shop.

Please remember that an adult must accompany children.

Bicycle safety equipment and light-colored clothing are strongly suggested.

Bike lights and reflectors are required. I saw this easy homemade bike light used on the Hiawatha trail. All you need is two hose clamps and a regular flashlight. One hose clamp is attached to the handle bar. The other hose clamp attaches onto the first hose clamp and then goes around the flashlight.

If you would like to help with this event or donate raffle prizes, please call Becky Chastain at 883-3485
