10 Hard Workers

Tonight a good group came out and helped with the new section of single track on the N. Loop. Mike R. also did some serious weed whipping on the bridge section and other well needed areas.

Another trail work night will be set up soon to finish this section off as we need to have this all ready to go and in tip top shape for the Single Track Escape on September 26, 2009.

BIG THANKS TO:
Mr. Anderson, Sam, Ben, Matt, Matt, Alex, Mike, Brian, Joe, John and Kyia.

Road Bike Racing this weekend in Avon, MN!

Get out to help or cheer on the MN road racers! Contact Jim (info below).

As most of you know, this weekend is the Spunk Lake RR in Avon. It is a 1 wave event from 9:30 until 2:30. We are in need of some corner marshals, as well as some people for set up and tear down. I have every corner covered by police but an additional person waving riders thru really helps the flow of the event.

If those who can help could reply back to me, it would help me plan out the corners in advance.

Thanks, Jim

Bridge Repair

Josie and Sheila Amo helped with some Bridge repair today on the N. Loop. Some of the boards have rotted out and one was completely broken on the in bound/returning long bridge. We replaced a few others while we were out there. The bridge is all set to go! Ride On!

Thanks for your help ladies!! Girl Power!

As a reminder there is a meeting for the Race Committees this Wednesday night. Check your emails for details!
