_______________________________________________________
COVID guidelines has kept Sussex Cyclists from scheduling any big events for more than a year. Now that some restrictions are being lifted we have the chance to get together, catch up with friends we have not seen for a while, and perhaps just relax. We have a pavilion at Trap Pond reserved for the day, and while we will not plan any formal activities until late afternoon, we have the opportunity to take advantage of the park facilities throughout the day.
The Picnic
To comply with COVID Guidelines we will have Box Meals catered by Panera Bread. We will be asking attendees only $5.00 to help subsidize the cost of these meals and soft drinks.
On the registration form you will be asked to make a meal and soft drink selection. The choices are:
Roasted Turkey & Avocado BLT - Roasted turkey raised without antibiotics, Applewood-smoked bacon, emerald green, vine-ripened tomatoes, fresh avocado, mayo, salt, and pepper on Country Rustic Sourdough.
Steak & Arugula Sandwich - Grass fed beef, vine ripened tomatoes, pickled onions, mustard, horseradish sauce, mayo, salt and pepper on country rustic sourdough.
Napa Almond Chicken Sandwich – Chicken raised without antibiotics tossed with diced celery, sliced red grapes, toasted almonds and special dressing, served with emerald greens, vine-ripened tomatoes, salt and pepper on Country Rustic Sourdough.
Mediterranean Veggie – without feta. Vegan Option - Zesty sweet Peppadew™ piquant peppers, feta, cucumbers, emerald greens, vine-ripened tomatoes, red onions, hummus, salt, and pepper on Tomato Basil.
All of the boxed meals will include a Summer Fruit Cup, Chips, Pickle and a Cookie.

B.Y.O. ???
You may bring your own beverages, and Alcohol is permitted, but NO GLASS BOTTLES. Canned beer is OK, beverages in plastic bottles are OK (even something you may put into a bike bottle).
Business Meeting Only?
Members who wish to just attend the 4:00 business meeting, but not take part in the picnic, are welcome to do so. Registration is not required if you just want to attend the meeting, however there is an option to let us know you are coming on the event registration form.
PARK ENTRANCE FEE
There is an entrance fee to enter Trap Pond State Park. A single day fee should be $4.00 for a vehicle registered in Delaware or $8.00 for out of state vehicles. (There is no fee if you bike to the park.) Many of our members have annual or lifetime passes so we may try to arrange car pools for those who may want to save a few dollars.
LOCATION IN THE PARK
We have the Screened Pavilion reserved for the day. Bear to the right after the entrance booth and follow the road until you get to a parking area at the end of the road. The Screened Pavilion is between the parking lot and the Pond. We will send a map closer to the day of the event.
