Area Planning Organization-

Hello all!  Just passing along some info on the APO.  If interested in planning on the local level this is a great organization to be a part of. -MMCC

The next APO Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 28^th at the St. Cloud Library in the Array Room from 6:00-7:00 pm. We will discuss the results of our recent bicycle and pedestrian counts and finalize a list of road segments for a Bicycle Level of Service study this summer. There will also be information on ideal bicycle facilities at interchanges, railroad crossings, and roundabouts as well as member coordination on upcoming events and projects. Our usual July meeting will be a bicycle ride instead of the typical meeting. I hope to see you at some of the bicycle and pedestrian events this summer!

Spring Meeting at House of Pizza

The crew minus John Seiler!

A big Thanks to the House of Pizza for hosting the MMCC spring meeting/membership drive.  They were generous and donated 3 pizza's for our meeting tonight!  Some good things were discussed and planned for the upcoming season.

• MN High School MTB Race at the Jail Trail on Sept 21
• MN MTB Series Race at the Jail Trail on Sept 22
• Trail work at Plum Creek w/ addition of some features (Thanks Dan!)
• Trail work at the N. Loop- maintain and modify a few features
• Ideas of Trail Signs, Brochures with club info to hand out at various businesses and trail signage at the N. Loop so people don't get lost or ride the same small loop over and over again.
• Social media (Twitter account to come)
• Equipment update (everything is running and a few things are getting fixed, Thanks Pat for fixing the flat on the trailer and donating time to go through everything!)

Thanks to all who payed their membership dues and supported the trails.  With out our volunteers and paying members the trails would simply not be possible.
