Trailblazer Ride

In Savannah Georgia there is a road that leads to Tybee Island, a beach community at the very end of US 80, a cross country highway. A very dangerous road on the causeway leading to the island for bicyclist. This event was to raise money for the East Coast Greenway which eventually will be a bike/pedestrian trail for Maine to the Florida Keys. Promoted by the Savannah Bicycle Campaign, 150 people showed up to ride with a police escort from Tybee to Johnson Square in downtown Savannah, a 21 mile distance ridden by all types of cyclist.
