It’s the unofficial “Opening Day” Saturday for bike trails across the country.
Locally, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy is hosting events across the Miami Valley to celebrate the kick-off of biking and walking trails for the spring and summer season.
Different opening day events will be held in Yellow Springs, Xenia, Dayton, Springfield and Cincinnati.
And this weekend will be the perfect weather for getting outside, said StormCenter 7 Meteorologist Kirstie Zontini. High temperatures will reach the low 70s on Saturday, and it will remain dry this weekend.
