Going Greener...

Going Greener. Talent Search students participating in the summer program "Cycle to Freedom along the Underground Railroad," got a hands-on lesson in bio fuel production at Blueridge Bio-fuels. Deisel from cooking oil... and into the Cool Bus.

Another "green" project is CJ's Bamboo bike. Constructed from bamboo cut right off the Tuckaseegee River in Cullowhee, this bike proved more than worthy on our 300 plus mile tour. Check out CJ's bike. It's stronger than carbon and lighter than steel or maybe it's the other way around... Either way, it's a mighty nice ride and one cool senior project CJ.

Shakedown Ride this Saturday

Shakedown Ride this Saturday for the summer bike trip. If you are interested in riding the Underground Railroad summer tour with us, and you have never been on a talent search bike tour, then you'll need to join us for a 4 hour shakedown ride this Saturday.

We'll meet at 11:00 am at the Deep Creek Picnic area in the GSMNP. Come prepared to ride about 4 hours. You must let us know you are planning to attend so we can arrive with the right number of bikes.
