TRAFFIC ALERT - Sussex County - Closure of the Lewes to Georgetown Trail for Herbicide Application
Thursday, April 16th
Lewes --
Closure of the Lewes to Georgetown Trail for Herbicide Application
Lewes - The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) announces to the public that the trail will be closed from Herbicide Application. The closure is due to a required herbicide application for vegetation control. Starting at 12:00 a.m. on Thursday, April 16th, 2026 until 8:00 a.m. Thursday, April 16th, 2026, pending weather.
The Delaware Department of Transportation and its hired contractor only apply herbicides that are registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for vegetation control purposes. The EPA has determined through its testing and review process that when these herbicides are applied according to the label instructions, their application "poses no unreasonable risks to human health, wildlife, or the environment.
We had 17 members join together to clean a 2 mile stretch of Cedar Creek Road in Milton as part of the Delaware Adopt a Highway program. 18 bags of trash were collected to help keep the roads we ride clean. Special thanks to Mike Savage for organizing this great effort and to our volunteers: Robert Burns, Fran Dance, Ray Grabiak, Mike Guida, Doug Hawkland, Louis Hepp, Gilbert Hofheimer, Heidi Lerch, Lee Lerch, George Modlin, Greg Parkinson, Mike Savage, Denny Shook, Fran Shook, Claude Sicard, Mark Snader and David Wellborn.

A Life In Tandem tells the extraordinary true story of Luke, who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer aged 24. Given months to live, he sets off on a 20,000 mile cycle from Bristol to Beijing - on a tandem. Over 800 people join him, as Luke experiences extraordinary highs and devastating lows on this unique journey, and discovers what it is to be a 'CanLiver'.
Tickets are only available via this link: https://givebutter.com/a-life-in-tandem-urtoto. The theater and movie has been paid for by the Keystone State Ride. Here is a link to the trailer: https://youtu.be/5DcKGUShs_E
The Keystone State Ride (KSR) supports our riders as they cycle every September from Pittsburgh to Philly. Riders have raised over $80K for cancer research in our first two years. The KSR provides hotels (6), luggage transfers each morning, fully stocked rest stops, SAG support, and transportation to Pittsburgh. Learn more at KeystoneStateRide.com The event is also on our Sussex Cyclists calender.
"I was lucky enough to see this film in Lancaster, and have worked to bring this film to Delaware. I'm also a cancer survivor, and started a nonprofit in 2024 to raise funds for cancer research. The theater has been extremely helpful and generous in getting this movie into the US. I’m so excited that my friends will be able to see this movie. It’s such a great story. Thank you for supporting our organization" - Dave Wellborn

From today's Cape Gazette:
The Delaware Bicycle Council is making a second appeal to have signs installed on paved trails to make it clear that mopeds are banned.
During the group’s Feb. 4 meeting, council member Marty Lessner presented a draft letter addressed to the Delaware Department of Transportation again requesting signs.
The letter emphasizes signs should be part of a broader plan that includes education about state ordinances and enforcement of the law.
After the state rejected its recommendation to install signs in an Oct. 30 letter, the Delaware Bicycle Council decided at a Dec. 3 meeting to continue pressing for action.

Thank you to everyone who made it out to Nicola Pizza last night for our Dine to Donate. The turnout was amazing. We don’t have the figures yet but the 50/50 was won by our own Fern Goodhart.
It was a wonderful get together. Thank you to Denny & Fran Shook and Jim Prettyman for organizing and making the evening a success!
