Submitted by Brent Hugh on Tue, 05/17/2005 - 6:24am
Bike to Work Day is coming soon. Here is a great bike-to-work event planned by Centralia Mayor (and MoBikeFed member) Jerry Parmeley:
The Mayor of Centralia, Missouri, Jerry Parmeley, will be honoring National Bike to Work Day on Friday, May 20, 2005.Mayor Parmeley's email is: parmeleyj [at] health.missouri.edu
National Bike to Work day is the last day of the work week during National Bike to Work Week. National Bike to Work Week is a week that is set aside every year to encourage workers to cycle to work. Cycling decreases cost for fuel and saves our atmosphere from dangerous emissions. Cycling to work also allows the worker the chance to exercise before work by scheduling exercise into their daily lives.
Cycling is important to the Mayor and to honor the conclusion of National Bike to Work Week, the Mayor will be cycling from the City Hall in Centralia to his employer University of Missouri Health Care. Mayor Parmeley works in the Integrated Technology Services (ITS) Department at University of Missouri Health Care. The ITS department is located in the Quarterdeck building at 2401 LeMone Industrial Boulevard. Mayor Parmeley will be cycling down Route Z until Rangeline Road, turn right on New Haven Road, and then a right on LeMone Industrial Blvd. Mayor Parmeley will be leaving the Centralia City Hall around 5:30 a.m. and is anticipating arriving at ITS at approximately 7:30 a.m.; the length of the ride is approximately thirty (30) miles.
You are welcome to ride with Mayor Parmeley or check in with the Mayor along the route. The Mayor will be available for interviews before and after the ride. Please support the Mayor in his effort to promote bicycle safety and fitness among today's society.
