■ Monday, Jan. 31: The Pilgrimage in Spain: Camino de Santiago: This pilgrimage route through northern Spain to Santiago de Compostela is over 1,000 years old. Join Jocelyn Hardman as she discusses the rich history of this pilgrimage and the multitude of cultural artifacts it has inspired, as well as how to train, plan and pack for it. Hardman is a lecturer in Spanish and has hiked extensively in Europe, South America and the United States.
■ Wednesday, Feb. 16: Basic Bicycle Maintenance: How to Keep your Bike Running Smoothly at Home. This hands-on session will cover basic bicycle repair as we transition from winter to spring riding season. Learn how to properly clean and lube your drivetrain, how to fix a flat tire (feel free to bring your tire), basic adjustments and safety checks. The session is not designed to diagnose and repair specific issues, but as a learning opportunity for routine maintenance and repair on bicycles. Otto Bohn owns and operates Spoken Bicycles in downtown Middletown, which sells and repairs bicycles, accessories and also conducts spinning and road riding classes and rides.
