Election/Voting Results for 2010

Congrats to returning incumbents Lisa and Greg (secretary, treasurer) and to VMB's new Vice President Scott Stortz.
Seeing that Scott was able to bring a weekly club ride back -- who knows what else he's capable of?

The new annual membership dues will change to $20 as of the first of the year.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the meeting and to Steve for the great food & beer!

See ya' on the trail!

What's on your Santa List?

Dear Santa,

My list is pretty modest this year and none of it is a necessity. I've been a good boy and shared lots of my bike stuff with my friends. I hope you have enough room in your sack for just a few things.

1. I would like a new drivetrain. I hope it is a SRAM x.9 set, but XT would be fine too.

2. I would like a pair of XL Hoss Ponderosa cycling shorts, because I am a much bigger boy now...in white and gray camoflauge, please, it has that slimming effect.

3. I am getting tired of fideling with my mechanical brakes, so a pair of Avid Elixer Hydros would be super.

'Road Rage' Case Highlights Cyclist Vs. Driver Tension

There's an interesting quote at the end of this article -- something that's crossed my mind when I see a cyclist behave badly in traffic...

How many motorists who just had to deal with that person's actions are now agitated with ALL cyclists?

Quote from article:

"Oh, we hate these guys," says Rogers. "We absolutely hate them. The driver you tick off is the one who's going to run me off the road."
