May’s Monthly Club Meeting Review
So, we actually had May’s monthly meeting in June. What can we say? It was a busy month. Thanks again to Catalyst Coffee for hosting us. Our next meeting will be held at New Belgium Brewery on Monday, June 29th. Hope to see you there.
If you didn’t get a chance to make the meeting last night, here’s a quick run-down of what was discussed:
Special Guests: Freshman, Cassi Mason and her father, Tony came to discuss their trip along the Colorado Trail. They will travel the entire length of the 500-mile trail on their mountain bikes this summer. They will be raising money for the Fort Collins Bike Co-op. If you’d like to support them on their trip, send a check to the Fort Collins Bike Co-op or contact Tony Mason at tony(at)greyrock.org.
Great News! After many years of working with the IRS, Overland Mountain Bike Club and Diamond Peaks Mountain Bike Patrol have received ‘official’ non-profit status. A huge thanks to Doug and Mary McCartney for their persistence in getting this done.
Spring Canyon Bike Park is undergoing a remodel in order to make it more sustainable. A pump track will be added and many of the other challenges will be changed. Jason and Pete from IMBA are here working on it and need people to come out and help. They’re working from 9-5 daily until it is done.
Bobcat Ridge trail work is happening this Saturday – 9 a.m. ish. Contact Doug Cutter if you want to help out.
Trails Meeting – Josh Shafer gave a rundown of the Trails Meeting that took place a couple of weeks ago. The Trails Committee is working on designing a long-term plan for trails in the area. They’re also working on creating a proposal for doing a ‘Beginner’s Loop’ at Pineridge. If you are passionate about trails, join them on June 9th @ 6:30 @ Café Vino. Regular meetings will be held on the second Tuesday of every month.
Friends of Lory Trail Day is Sunday, June 28th. A variety of tasks will be accomplished during the day.
This Friday Night, June 5th, Full Cycle and Northern Colorado Outdoors will have a Summer Kick-Off. Drinks, Food, and Goodies will be available.
Grand Opening at Soapstone Open Space and Red Mountain Open Space is this Saturday. Barb requested volunteers to come out and help people with rides and to staff the tent. If you plan on riding, Slime or Stan’s your tubes. Cactus are everywhere.
Todd Thibedeau gave us the Wyoming Report. Club Member and Ride Diva, Tami Perrin hosted a Women’s Trail Clinic at Curt Gowdy recently and it was a great success! Another ½ mile of trail was cut up in Curt Gowdy last week. This coming weekend is the Curt Gowdy Summer Slam. Great event for families. Doug and Mary McCartney will be hosting the Diamond Peaks/Overland Tent and need people to help out. Sign up on the website.
June 13th is the inaugural Fossil Creek Bike Fair. If you can make it and help out with the tent, please do so. This looks to be another great event for kids and families. The event will take place at Fossil Creek Park which is south of Harmony off of Lemay.
June 14th – We’ll have our first ever ‘Outreach Day’ at Horsetooth Mountain Open Space. Great day to get in a patrol, a check ride, to talk with area trail users, etc. Come on out and help out!
June 24th is Bike to Work Day and Overland Mountain Bike Club, along with Catalyst Coffee and Performance Physical Therapy will host a station at Catalyst Coffee with is on the NW corner of Shields and Horsetooth. Come on out and cheer on the bike commuters.
Overland Mountain Bike Club recently approved a grant to Bike Fort Collins’ Museum Without Walls Program. Jeff Nye will be looking to acquire classic mountain bikes for the museum’s collection.
Help plan Events! The Events Committee has some upcoming events that we need help coordinating. The Overland Summer Camp Out and BBQ will be held at Curt Gowdy during the Curty Gowdy Music Festival to be held the weekend of July 25th. We have a large group campsite reserved and will have a group meal on Saturday night. Help is needed to coordinate this event.
