General Discussion

Opening weekend at Mountain Creek. Sat. May 4th. Ok so whos goin?

So I ride the road, too. One of my pet peeves over the years is free running dogs that chase bikers right into the street. Owners are continually non-chalant or just plain ignorant.

The VeloFest flea market is Saturday May 4. Is anyone planning to get a selling space? It's a great opportunity to unload unwanted bike goodies.
I'm thinking of going and wouldn't mind splitting a booth with someone or maybe we could have a few spaces side by side.

The Officers and Board would like to recognize Don Kelly and express our gratitude for his years of dedicated service to VMB as both Secretary and in many other capacities that advanced our club's mission.

The role of secretary in any organization represents a truly vital function. Don, you were always modestly meticulous in your record-keeping and one of several veteran members who was always available to provide the rest of us pertinent club history and by-laws background at a moment's notice necessary to make key decisions. Thank you, Don. :thumbsup:

The VMB Officers and Board are pleased to announce that they have appointed Stavros as secretary to replace Don Kelly who resigned 4/1. Our by-laws require that an immediate appointment be made by the full Board whenever an officer vacancy occurs. Such an appointment must be confirmed by the membership at the next regularly-scheduled meeting (April 23rd in this case).

This is kind of interesting - according to the Lehigh County deeds published in Sunday's Morning Call, a "Martin Nothstein" bought a house March 1st on the ridge bordering Trex off Jordan/Old Packhouse Road in Lowhill Township just west of the covered bridge near KidsPeace. It more or less has direct access to the Border(?) Trail maybe a hundred feet from his driveway.

I was thinking of hitting this place up on Thursday. I know I should be on a BMX or DJ but the only 26 inch wheel bike I have is a cargo bike. Or a fatbike.

Since I gotta run what I brung, can I get by on a 29er if it's a rather playful and slack 29er?

FYI: Not the news anyone annoyed with Mr. Rock Remover wants to hear but it's being reported by WFMZ TV and the Intelligencer newspaper out of Doylestown that the Quarry-Seidersville powerlines will be essentially completely rebuilt and upgraded beginning next March in conjunction with the energizing of a new line from Coopersburg to Quakertown under construction now.

Soooo...I did a loop at Sals on Sunday and did a much different loop and skipped the three Bs etc. When I got back to the Dodson lot I was speaking to a friend who just came up that trail. He said there was some tallish guy with a grayish mustache removing rocks from the trail. The self appointed trail worker said he was removing "tire biters" from the trail.
BTW. I believe the guy was not riding that day.

I was going to ride down and speak with the guy but I was running very late.

Does anyone have the kiosk building plans for Sals? I'd like to get dimensions for replacement parts.

Thanks
