What’s happening?

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday Rides are all in full swing, as is our monthy trail work sponsored by Jamis Bicycles. See the pages to the right for details.

Thanks to donations from the Pequawket Foundation and NEMBA, we are now sporting a superb tool trailer. This little shed on wheels has already served us well. We had 14 folks put in over 60 hours of trail maintenance on the Lower Nanamocomuck Trail, which is much improved as a result. The trailer also served as a fine shelter during some intense thunderstorms after trail work.

Our next scheduled trail day is Sunday, July 20th at Moose Brook State Park in Gorham. A ride and swim will follow; this is sure to be be a fun day.

The Valley Bike and Gear Swap at the Moat Mountain Smoke House on Saturday 6/14 was quite a success. There was a nice variety of interesting merchandise to be found at very good prices. I know I scored some great deals and even managed to sell a few items. Cathy Steers, Andrea Masters and Glenn Ashworth deserve a lot of credit for the great response.

The Klunkerz movie fund raiser (and Muzzy’s birthday party) at Matty B’s was also a rocking good time, with a delicious pizza buffet and fine libations (we should do this again!). The event raised close to $300 for our tool & material fund, and we put half of that income toward bridge materials for next month’s trail work in Moose Brook State Park. If you didn’t make it to the movie, please consider buying the DVD, it is destined to be a classic.

Thanks to everyone who put on and supported these events!

We had a solid turnout for the first race in the Red Jersey Summer Race Series held at Whitaker Woods. Pat Ferland and helpers laid out another fine course. Next race is at Thorne Pond, across from Bear Peak on Thursday, July 17th. Registration starts at 4:30 and the races begin at 6. This is another fun and fast course; great one for kids, too.

 Go Sally!
