Join DCAB for a FREE Intermediate Group MTB Ride! Every other Monday this summer! Meet at 6:00 PM at the upper lot (by the pool), wheels down at 6:15 PM. Return (one lap) by 7:30 PM. PLEASE SIGN UP AND SIGN THE WAIVER IN ADVANCE: https://x.gldn.io/e/21r11DosLIb We will ride the awesome Dan's Mountain Lonconia loop at a casual/moderate pace. The ride is for intermediate‐level riders looking to apply and improve their skills in a non‐competitive atmosphere. We will ride about 5 miles of intermediate-level terrain (about one loop), with some uphills and fun downhill-flowy sections. Then, depending on the group's appetite, we can go for another lap. There will be obstacles that require the rider to get their front wheel off the ground to clear successfully. Basic mountain biking skills are required. Short, steep climbs and descents may be encountered. More fit entry-level riders can successfully ride this intermediate trail. While still “casual” in nature, this pace will have fewer stops than a beginner ride along the way. Riders with average fitness should do fine on this level of ride. Questions on MTB skills are encouraged, and the intention is to have fun and gain confidence on the trails. You […]

Please register at the Oakland Library or contact Andrew Miller at andrew@relib.net for more information. "When an unidentified “monster” threatens international shipping, French oceanographer Pierre Aronnax and his unflappable assistant Conseil join an expedition organized by the US Navy to hunt down and destroy the menace. After months of fruitless searching, they finally grapple with their quarry, but Aronnax, Conseil, and the brash Canadian harpooner Ned Land are thrown overboard in the attack, only to find that the “monster” is actually a futuristic submarine, the Nautilus, commanded by a shadowy, mystical, preternaturally imposing man who calls himself Captain Nemo. Thus begins a journey of 20,000 leagues—nearly 50,000 miles—that will take Captain Nemo, his crew, and these three adventurers on a journey of discovery through undersea forests, coral graveyards, miles-deep trenches, and even the sunken ruins of Atlantis."

This event is like a game where you ride your bike to different places and learn cool things about Meshach Browning's history. Here’s how it works: Gather your team --of at least 2-- for an adventure! As you ride our course, you will pick up cards with questions about history. Some places are close and easy to get to, so the questions there give you a few points. But if you ride further and explore more, the questions are harder and you can earn more points! This bike ride is free, but we like when participants sign up ahead of time so we know how many are coming.

Maryland Public Television and the Maryland Genealogical Society offer another beginner-to-intermediate genealogy workshop series, coming this spring. Finding Your Roots Online will consist of four (4) two-hour sessions focused on the online resources individuals can search to find more information about their ancestors. Each session will feature a combination of lecture, small and large group discussion, question and answer time, and a homework assignment relating to your family search. Handouts will be provided for each session. The webinars will be recorded and registrants can view the sessions later; however, because this workshop is interactive, we encourage all registrants to attend the live virtual sessions whenever possible. This series is perfect for anyone looking to better understand the vast offerings of online family research. Your family does not need Maryland ties to benefit from this course; however, the instructor will use some Maryland examples. Those who attend will receive a one-year MPT Passport membership or membership extension, and a one-year membership to the Maryland Genealogical Society (MGS) — not applicable to current MGS members.
