Halloween Hike and Bike

Congratulations to all the Cleveland Clinic employees and their families who came out on a sunny but cool day to explore the Towpath Trail.  We had representation from main campus, the Family Health Centers and our community hospitals.  Thanks to the Cleveland Metroparks for use of the CanalWay Center, and to H2Cool for donating the water.

Family members of all ages enjoyed the Hike and Bike.
