Veloers Troy, Fred, Todd, April and Pete gathered early on Halloween to do our bi-annual Adopt-a-Highway litter pickup. We scoured the roadside between 72nd and 84th streets on Hwy 36. Todd found lawn chairs for the biggest litter of the day. No dead critters were discovered. It seems like smokers feel entitled to discard their butts and their empty packs of smokes. Icky and unbelievable.
We decided if anyone found a satchel or duffel of money, we'd put it in the Velo bank account and all get new Cervelos. Alas, nothing of value was found, but we did gather about 10 bags of litter as we performed this valuable community service. We piled bags up under our Velo Veloce sign that adorns the hilltop on Hwy 36. The next scheduled cleanup will be next Spring. Thanks to all the volunteers today!!!
