Elections, Contests, and the Season Finale

Greetings Wheeled Wonders,

October’s almost here. A chill is in the air and we still have lots of fun stuff ahead of us.

Elections Tonight!

Elections are tonight at our monthly meeting. Ron Chambers, Bill Heisterman, Monty Seitz, Kory Swanson, and Todd Thibodeau have thrown their hat in the ring for the 4 open board seats. If you cannot attend the meeting, please email your vote to Barb Allan, director. Vote for 4 of the 5 people.

Curt Gowdy Does IT!
Curt Gowdy State Park achieved IMBA Epic status on Saturday, Sep. 26th. Congrats to Todd and his crew and all the volunteers who made it possible!

Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day

We are still in need of volunteers for Take a Kid. Please sign up as soon as possible in order to help us plan for food, etc.

Overland Sponsors Cyclocross Races

Once again, we’re helping our main sponsor, New Belgium, run some great races out in the back 40 behind the brewery. With the October chill comes the heat of Cyclocross racing. We’ll need some volunteers to help with the kids races each week for the next 4 weeks. Hope to see you out there. The races start Tuesday, October 6th and run until the end of the month. Click HERE for more info.

First Ever Crankin’ Contest Coming Your Way!

Don’t forget. On October 10th, we’ll gather at 1 p.m. in Spring Canyon Park for a little bit of cycling fun. Pitting Overland Team against Overland Team, members will compete in a series of zany activities to see which Team rules the roost. No preview of the activities will be given as no one is allowed to practice ahead of time. Following the activities, a bbq will commence at Kory Swanson’s house. Team members are encouraged to ride their mountain bikes to the event as this will affect your overall score for the day.

Kooky Costume Cruise Coming Soon

After last year’s successful costume cruise, we’ll be doing another one after our Season Finale. The date? October 24th. Barb will stay out late one more time!
