The 4.5 mile ride will kick off at 8 a.m. and is free to attend. We'll be starting off at Griffith Family Farm, which is a fantastic local business. And I really enjoy their various products and stuff. So we'll be there a little early and we'll be actually kicking off the ride at 8 a.m. So it's the early part. And we'll be riding back toward the trailhead at Ginny's Creek. And this is a beautiful section of the trail, very minimal. It's almost flat or downhill, really, through that section. And we always see all kinds of wildlife. There's always white-tailed deer and lots of birds. If you're a bird watcher, it's just fantastic. Do The Dawkins is one of the first organized rides since the paving of the formerly gravel Dawkins Trail. The ride will end at Ginny's Creek Trailhead. People ride the Dawkins Line Trail for various different reasons. Some people are really into the fitness side of it. I'm kind of ridiculously into seeing birds and rabbits along the way. And I really do enjoy talking to people who are visiting our area from other places. The number of people who are here for adventure tourism. And this is just on the Dawkins Line Trail. We have so many other things going on. Our water trails and our ATV trails have been just tremendous drivers of tourism. People coming into this area.
