Due to the success of last year's ride, Lehigh Township Rails to Trails is conducting a second interpretive bike ride 9 a.m.-noon Oct. 12. The rain date is Sunday, Oct. 13.

The ride will take place along part of the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor rail-trail. Along the way, stops will be made to discuss the geology, history and biology of the areas through which participants will pass.

This year's ride will begin at the trailhead of the D&L at the boat launch near Bowmanstown, which is located between Palmerton and Leighton. It is a one-way ride, at the end of which riders can return to Bowmanstown, ride another part of the D&L, or ride the Slate Heritage Trail.

Restroom and picnic areas will be available along the way.

There is no cost for the event, although donations are always appreciated.

Participants are asked to register for the ride in order to enable the D&L to determine the number of people involved. Register by Oct. 5 by calling 610-767-0676 or sending an email to LTR2T@hotmail.com.

The mission of Lehigh Township Rails to Trails is to provide recreational opportunities for people of all ages in and around Lehigh Township. At present, the organization is working with the Walnutport Canal Association to develop a picnic area at a lock that is located within Lehigh Township and is along the Walnutport Canal.
