In Other News…
FYI: Mountain Bike Patrolling can lead to rather ‘prickly’ moments. One of our very own had the ‘pleasure’ of assisting an injured rider whose lycra just didn't seem to ward of an attack by a hungry cactus. Any guesses as to who the lucky patroller was? And his/her patient
Rode Lory State Park on Saturday. Nice work on the trails everybody. Your hard work seems to be holding up well.
Riding the Laramie Enduro? A whole gang of Overlanders have signed up for the punishment of the Laramie Enduro. We’d like an accurate count of who will be out on the trail that day. The list, that I know of so far consists of: Ron Chambers, Josh Shafer, Corey Rhodes, Jim Fu, Matt Solley, Tommy Berglund, Mike Nosler, Dewayne Norvill, Bill Heisterman, Kory Swanson, and Scott Lamons. Registered and I don’t know? Shoot me an email. Also, several riders have mentioned how cool it would be for all of us to show up in our new jerseys.
Reminder: The Tour de Fat is September 5 and we need every single one of you and your closest friends and family. Get it on the calendar and start getting after your friends and family to get it on theirs too.
The Fort Collins Bike Co-Op has received $3500 in grants to train League of American Bicycling Instructors. Contact Rick Price at the Co-op for more info.What do you think of this? Some Saturday or Sunday in early Fall, an Overland Teams Competition including a ride, games, food, etc? Sounds like fun to me. We'll see if we can get something like this put together...
I think that’s about it. Hope you’re making time to ride. Hope to see you on Wednesday evening.

How'bout points for a correct guess? The hands and helmet look like Barb's. The butt although much less pleasant to look at, I'm guessing is Greg's. Looks like Curt Gowdy trails.

This is way beyond any agreement I signed as a patroller. Must be Tami and Joe.
ReplyDeleteMr. Cutter, was that your Tami and Joe guess? In case I can scam some points out of this I should clarify that the Barb, Greg at Gowdy guess is Baker's.
ReplyDeleteYes, DougC guessed it was the Perrins
