Event description
To celebrate the completion of Sherman Branch, the Trailblazers invite you to attend the grand opening celebration, as we kick off BIKE! Charlotte on May 5th. We will be leading group rides of the park from 9:00 - 11:00a with hot dogs, hamburgers and drinks from 11:30 - 1:00p! We are in need of some volunteers to step up to assist. If interested, please contact me at president@tarheeltrailblazers.com.

Jerry Adams, the vice president of the Trailblazers, has led a small team of trail builders toward the completion of the trail system at Sherman Branch. At 10.6 miles, this has got to be the fastest trail of any significant length that has ever been built in Charlotte. And the rave reviews reflect its popularity. Jerry has taken a dream, that of constructing a trail from the bottom up, to reality. He dug in, fought the bureaucratic red tape, went through the process of neighborhood meetings, meetings with Park and Rec advisory committees, environmental impact studies, you name it. And the fruits of Jerry's labor are the trails at Sherman Branch. Thanks Jerry, you've earned it!
