The Homeschool Hiking/Biking annual event began in May 2005 as a 
way to gain recognition for homeschooling as well as getting some 
exercise, group involvement, and introducing other homeschooling 
families to hiking and biking in the great outdoors and meet 
others!! It is an  annual event now and will be held each year the 
last full week in May. We are asking for individuals and groups 
involved in homeschooling to set up events in their areas. You may 
make your event in varying skill levels if you would like for 
homeschoolers with varying skills. Maybe one person or group in your 
area can set up a hiking event and another can set up the biking 
event. Or you may want to work with many homeschooling groups to 
have one big event. The possibilities are many, and I would love to 
hear your ideas. This years dates are the week of May 25th to May 
31st. The woods and paths and trails are beautiful in the spring so 
please join us.
If you would like to set up a group event in your area, please send 
your name, email address, phone, City and State, newspaper name
(phone and email also), Tv name and email, radio name and email to 
me (Earlene) at:
homeschoolhikebike@hotmail.com
or call me at 240-727-0675


We can issue a press release to your local newspaper or to you to use everywhere 
and please notify the local radio stations as well. Or you may go to our
website and copy the press release for yourself and group to use at:
