"Although we're a small non-profit, fully run by volunteers, we have a large mission focused on helping the community through our shared passion for bicycling," said Greg Demopoulos, KCV president.
"It is an honor to accept this donation. It is through donations like this that allow us to maintain and build trails and provide access to the infrastructure needed to make our community a better place to live, work and play. Additionally, as we build more trails and greenways, we have a responsibility to help teach young kids that will be riding their bikes on these trails, how to do it safely."
The Winona Lake Trails are just over nine miles in length, open to mountain biking, running and hiking. They are situated on approximately 140 acres of private land and have been open to the community since 1997, becoming one of the more popular trails in the region, the news release said.
KCV is responsible for funding, maintenance and upkeep of the trails, in which over 50 volunteers supply over 2,000 hours per year.
Esther Pfleiderer Committee Chairman John Elliott is appreciative of the work provided by the many volunteer members of KCV Cycling.
"These trails provide a wonderful location for our community residents and the many guests who visit these trails to enjoy the exciting trail system. In addition, the well-established Fat & Skinny Weekend is a magnet for many to enjoy the Village of Winona for the weekend," Elliott said.
Tracey's Trailer was launched in 2016 with the help of the Kosciusko County Community Foundation and the Tracey's Trails Fund established in honor of Tracey Yeager. It was developed to teach young kids how to safely ride bikes and learn basic maintenance skills.
In partnership with Warsaw Community Schools and other organizations in the community, KCV provides in-class training, as well as an on-the-bike skills course.
In addition, with the help of sponsors, they provide kids new helmets or bike lights upon completion of the training.
Since its inception, KCV has provided over 1000 kids safe bicycling skills through the Tracey's Trailer Mobile Bicycle Education Project.
