General Discussion

The Bear Creek Spring Food and Wine Festival is scheduled for Saturday, 4/14 and Sunday, 4/15. One of the things we offered our hotel guests that bought a wine weekend package is their option of a morning yoga session or a guided hike. I have the yoga covered but am looking for someone to lead a hike on Saturday and Sunday morning. You don't have to do both days if only 1 day works for you. As payment, I will give you 2 tickets to our grand wine tasting on either Saturday or Sunday. That's a $50 value. You just need to know the trails well enough to lead a hike.

Let me know asap.

On the Merli ride yesterday, we were talking about dirt jumping. Thought I would post this videos from the Mountain Bikers of Santa Cruz Bike Festival last year. This one is from GoPro, featuring a bunch of their sponsored riders jumping the dirt jumps at the Post Office dirt jump track in Aptos, CA, where we had the festival. There was another one from the end of the contest, with all 18 riders riding the track simultaneously in a huge train, where no one fell, but I can't seem to find it right now.

Can someone please PM me with a link to the EnduroRama graphic that has all the info? There is one floating around but its too small. I want to print it and hang it in my work, 8x11.

Or if someone can email me the file, if thats easier. Thanks!

Is anybody interested in helping with procuring donations for prizes/shwag for the EnduroRama events? Also if you have any contacts at local (or not-so local) companies... Please send me a PM.

Thanks,
Doug

Monday evening, April 2, 2012, another high-profile, expert cyclist was hit riding his bike on the Fahy (New Street) Bridge in Bethlehem. Miraculously, Frank Pavlick, CAR-FREE.ORG's Advanced Mechanic Instructor and League of American Bicyclists certified Cycling Instructor, avoided serious injury.

Bethlehem police apprehended the driver of the vehicle that hit Frank after the car driver attempted to flee the scene because of the quick action of a LANta bus operator who blocked both Northbound lanes of the bridge with his transit vehicle.

Joelle wanted to pass this article on to everyone.

Although year after year this discussion comes up, I am sure we can all agree that this may be a really big problem this summer.

So I texted Rich yesterday and said, "Wait 'til you see the new VMB logo CaliMark is working on!"
It seemed like a great April Fool's gag, since Rich is the exclusive owner of a flesh version of the current logo...

I got nuthin.
:cryin:
Oh well.

Once again, I looked down and there is was.... you tell me and it's yours. How is it that I keep finding stuff here? I must be from my climbing days- always looking for shiny free booty!
