Meeting Notes from April 26th

WOW! Great turnout. Thanks again to Catalyst Coffee and Tap Room for hosting. Congrats to our top Patroller of the Month – Tommy B. and to our top Points Earner - Pete Skram (Who’s going to topple Pete this year?)



Update on the Colorado Summit:
Doug B and Todd T attended for the club. Doug mentioned we, as a club, are in pretty good shape. Todd spoke about Wilderness trail closures as bikes are lumped in w/motorized vehicles. This is something we want to pay very close attention to. Pump tracks are all the rage in Salina. Start building yours now. (If you’re curious as to what a pump track is, visit Lory State Park or Spring Canyon Park. They both have them.) Todd mentioned Gowdy. Doug mentioned that mtn. bikers are underrepresented and we need to get involved to ensure that our voice is heard.


That being said, the County’s Parks Advisory Board and Open Space Advisory Board are taking applications until April 30th. Who’s going to be the star for the mtb community and volunteer? Meetings are once a month. It would be great to have someone from the club on both of these boards. Go to www.larimer.org/boards for more info. Get your app in by April 30th.


Greg Mazu, Kristy Wumkes, and Ron Chambers walked Hewlett Gulch. The Forest Service is looking at re-routing the asteroid belt portion of the lollipop loop on Hewlett. If all goes well, the re-route will take place in 2011. We’ll work to remain involved as much as possible.


Take a Kid Mtn. Biking Day is just around the corner. To volunteer, sign up here: www.overlandmtb.org/TKMB . It’s May 22nd. We’ll see 40 kids and their parents. Registration for kids will be available soon.


Patrol and Club Picnic will be rescheduled. Sometime in June. Rodger T will showcase the new Overland Grill.


Forest Service Training/City Training – Good turnout for both. If you need training, please email Bil Heisterman. ( wfheist (at) msn.com) Bill recognized Doug, Dave, Paul, Jeff, and Nick. They have all gotten their first aid training done. Also, the patrol will support the Community Classic on May 16th. It raises money for the McKee Foundation and is McKee’s main fundraiser for the year. We need 5 teams of two. That’s ten folks, for you non-mathematical folks. Email Bill if you’d like to help out. It’s an 8 point ride for you point getters.


Team Leaders were announced. I wasn’t paying attention. I think they were Todd T, Jess Mallory, Doug Baker, New John, Pete, Thuan, and Joe ummm, and that’s all I remember. I think Bill still needs a leader or two. Email him if you’re interested.


Patrollers - Please make it obvious that you are a patroller when you are on the trail. When you’re out on the trail, especially Lory, please let Rangers know what you experienced while you are out. Joe mentioned that County Rangers don’t seem to be all that friendly. We’ll talk to Jacob about this.


Communications Team – Monty Seitz talked about events, stuff we’ve done to get the word out about the club, etc. Our big initial push was to get folks out to the kick-off meeting. Monty talked about what we’re doing to earn more name recognition including a goodie bag to each person who buys a mountain bike from our local shops. Jim Fu has been spearheading this and already has 500 coupons from Beau Jo’s. Coopersmiths is into it. Wags. Bean Cycle, etc.


We’re also looking for some people to help us out as Bike Shop liaisons. We’ll also do a new Overland Card and we’ll roll out a Card Competition at the next meeting. We also need help with the Communications Team. A list of things, some small, some more involved, was handed out. Contact Kory or Monty for a fresh list if you’re interested. We’ll meet on Monday evenings once a month. Keep an eye out on the calendar. Also, Peloton has agreed to offer 15% off at their shop along with Full Cycle and probably Lee’s as they always have. We’ll find out from the other shops in town. If you want to help out with Communications, email Monty.


Trails Team - Stacy Schroeder, our chairperson, spoke. Meetings are the 2nd Tuesday of the Month. The May 11th is the next meeting. We’re working on mainly maintenance. We’re working on a trail signage project w/Pineridge. Friends of Lory State Park in June is a huge day. We’ll also help with the August races before and after on the trails at Lory. Corey Rhodes has been working with the county on Sawmill/Rim Rock/Blue Sky. Jen and Jeff are working with the Forest Service. There will be a lot of opportunity to help them out – especially in the Redfeather area. We also have a GPS Team that is working on getting some good maps for people. Pete Skram is helping with this. Todd has a bunch of stuff going at Gowdy. He’s looking for input this Saturday, May 1st at 9 a.m. Extreme lines. Meet at the parking lot at the Middle Kingdom parking lot at Gowdy. Steve Lacey met w/Bobcat Ranger Carl. The city is receptive to us going up there and working on lines when people can go – not as a big trail day – etc. This would also happen at Soapstone. Steve’s trying to get this going on Thursdays. Keep an eye out on the calendar for upcoming trail days. And if you want to help with trails, go to a trail meeting. I’m so impressed by what this committee is doing. Nice work everyone.


Group Rides have been a success. Please volunteer to ride sweep at least once this season.

Barb ROCKS. Thanks to Barb Allan for her many years of service to the club. Kory will get her thank you soon.


If you’d like to volunteer with any club activities, please, ask how you can. We have opportunities, both small and bigger. Remember, all of us donate our time which makes this club awesome. Please help out in anyway that you can.


And last but not least, Jess mentioned that they’re going to start an Overland ride for ladies on Thursdays. This Thursday, Maxwell Parking Lot. Weather Permitting.

Welcome to all the new members! And thanks to all of those who have volunteered their time. See you soon.

Monthly Meeting Tonight!

Hey Y'all,

What with the wet weather the past few days, I'm sure you're all geared up to talk mountain bikes and that's just exactly what we'll be doing tonight at Catalyst Coffee and Tap Room. In light of that fact, I'll keep this brief.

Monday, April 26th - Monthly Meeting, 6:30 p.m.
Catch up on the latest news, upcoming events, etc. If you're new and haven't received your water bottle and socks, this is a good time to do that. We'll also have jerseys for sale (40 bucks-what a deal!) and this year's t-shirt (5 bucks - even better deal). We'll also talk about what other types of gear you may be interested in purchasing as a group (jackets, vests, etc...)

Tuesday, April 27th - 4 p.m.(ish)
Short Track Races are back. Behind New Belgium Brewing Co. For up-to-date info visit our friends at Your Group Ride. Please do not park in Employee Parking Lots. And keep an eye out at Your Group Ride for updates due to weather. If you've always wondered about racing, this is a great intro. 5 bucks unless you're a kid. Then it's free.

Wednesdays - Social Ride times to change in May
This is the last Wednesday we'll do a Social Ride at 5:30. (Weather permitting, of course.  What with more sunlight and all, we'll start riding at 6 p.m. Give everyone a chance to get there from work. And to mix things up, once a month we'll meet over at the Soderberg parking lot on the west side of Horsetooth Reservoir.  A big thanks to John, Andy, and Pete for sweeping the three different group last week. Please set aside at least one Wednesday of the group ride and volunteer to sweep. Thanks.

That's about it for now. If you haven't had a chance to read the article on our friends at the Bike Co-op donating bikes to students at Putnam, it's a pretty cool story.

Other than that, we'll dispense a bunch of new info tonight - new contests, bbq info, etc. If you haven't yet become a fan of Overland Mountain Bike Club on Facebook, do it now.  If you haven't yet become a member, it's the best 20 bucks you'll spend all year ( 35 for a household!) See you tonight. Everybody's invited.

February Events and Upcoming Season Info

I just about hopped in the truck this weekend and headed south with only my mountain bike, my bike gear, and a handful of Avett Brothers cds. Like most of you, I'm ready for some dry dirt trails. (I know I'm preachin' to the choir here, but please don't ride our sloppy trails. Ruts're bad, bad, bad...) Even though the trails are less than welcoming, that doesn't stop the fact that our upcoming season is just around the corner. Check this stuff out and don't forget to check out the fun calendar items we have listed below.

The Trail Committee has been meeting and discussing projects for the season. They're in need of more able bodies. Stacy Schroeder sent out an email discussing what's going on. They meet the 2nd Tuesday of every month at Cafe Vino. All are welcome and if you need more info, contact Stacy.

The Communications Committee will be forming and working to get the word out about all the great things Overland does for the community. We'd like to make Overland a household name, attract new members so we can get all our great activities done, and have a lot of fun. Monty Seitz and Jim Fu will be the main contact people on this one.

Skills Clinics - New board member, Corey Rhodes, is working on organizing several skills clinics this year. I'm sure he'd love your help if you're interested. We're planning clinics for kids, women, and men.

DPMBP - A service of Overland Mountain Bike Club, Diamond Peaks Mountain Bike Patrol is always looking for folks who want to get out and help. Check the calendar below to find out when the first Patroller's meeting is.

New Membership for Families - We'll be adding a Family Membership this year for $35. Awesome deal. Look for the new online membership listing soon. (Family memberships are for immediate family members living in the same household.)

Sloppy trails do not have to equal no fun. Get out your calendars. Here's what we've got in store in the near future...(Don't forget to check our CALENDAR regularly. We'll be adding stuff as it comes up.  In fact, we've already added quite a bit for the upcoming season, including the Kick-Off)

February 8th, 7 p.m. - Cinema Spin - Slip into your chamois, velcrotize your feet to your shoes, and join us at the Fort Collins Club for a little movie on the spin bikes. We'll spin for awhile, watch a movie while we're at it and when we're good and sweaty, we'll climb down off of those stationary torture devices and socialize. (Due to the limited number of spin bikes available, we'll be taking reservations on this one - Overland members only to start. If there's space, there'll be another email. And yes, we're keeping the movie a suprise for now.) To reserve your seat, email Kory. (The Spin bikes at the club accomodate shimano type cleats or regular shoes.)

February 26th, 5 p.m. - 3rd Annual Winter FAC - Can you believe this'll be our third Winter FAC? Join us for a couple of hours for some food, drinks, mountain bike chatter, and to catch up on all that's gone on since the Costume Cruise. Hope to see you. (This is also a members/significant others event and will require sign up on our website. Not a member? Sign up now. Place: Kory's house.)

March 8th, 6:30 p.m. - Season Kick-Off at New Belgium - Come find out what Overland Mountain Bike Club is all about!

April 24th, 9:00 a.m. - Patrol Training Picnic at Lory State Park - Need a patrol refresher?  Working towards becoming a Certified Patroller? This picnic's for you. 

One quick note before you all start making plans - The Tour de Fat will once again be held on Saturday, Sept, 4th which is Labor Day Weekend. This is our annual fundraiser and requires a ton of volunteer hours. Start recruiting your friends now. FYI - We'll be going back to the 3 shift schedule of previous years. Please get this on your calendar. We need all hands on deck. And of course, a huge THANKS to New Belgium Brewery for their generous support!

KLUNKERZ, Bike Travel, and BluChris

Is it really the first Week in December? Hope you have your Santy Claus list is made. What’ll it be this year? Rechargeable lights for evening adventures? Tubeless tires? A shiny new two-wheeler? All of the above? Whatever it is, let’s hope this season smiles on cyclists. (And ice sliders everywhere...Thanks Kevin Cullen for the Kodak moment...Is this what we'd be forced to do if there were no trails? Oh, and you oughta see this guy on skates...)

(BTW: That's Dave Sanders dropping down the stairs on Sawmill before stuffing himself on Thanksgiving.)

Anyway, here’s what’s happening with the club and around town.

Care about the trails you ride? Join the Trails Team tonight at Café Vino to discuss trails maintenance, trail building, trail projects on the burner, etc. Hope you can make it. Meeting starts at 6:30 and as always, Café Vino has one of the best beer and wine menus in town.

Cross Races Continue to Be a Huge Success
Cyclocross races at New Belgium got started with a bang. Three more weeks of great racing and spectating await. Kids races start promptly at 4:20 so that daylight does not become an issue. Several club members beat themselves up last week at the first race including Bill Heisterman, Jim Fu, and Covey Potter. Racing is $5 but you might as well bring an extra $20 and purchase a really cool long-sleeve t-shirt in support to young Black Sheep Jr. racing phenom, Skyler Trujillo, who’s working to make the national racing team. All proceeds from the t-shirts will go to support Skyler’s bid to make the team. T-shirts provided by Overland Mountain Bike Club, an official race sponsor, and designed by local artist, Amanda Acheson of Acheson Art.

The County Needs a Bit of Fire Assistance
Volunteers have been requested to assist with public education during a Prescription Burn in the Indian Creek area at some point between Mid-October and Mid-November. Weather conditions will define when and if the burn can occur and volunteers able to assist will have to be on-call. Duties to include sitting at the Blue Sky Trail and alert landowners to prescribed fire in the valley. All volunteers will have a radio and will be working with Natural Resources staff and the burn boss on when land owners and recreators can use the area.

If you are interested in this opportunity please contact CJ Cullins, Volunteer Program Coordinator, for further information. (970) 679-4552 or ccullins@larimer.org

Warm Someone Up
With the cold weather blasting in, wouldn’t it be nice if you could help someone else keep warm? Well, you can! Our friends at Recycled Cycles are collecting warm clothing in exchange for a $10 gift card to Recycled Cycles during the month of October. Limit 1 gift card per person.
Bring any warm clothing down to Recycled Cycles at 4031 S Mason. If you have any questions, contact Brent Straw, manager at (970) 223-1969.

Fort Collins RioSwap
Our friends over at Your Group Ride have organized the first annual Fort Collins RioSwap this Saturday evening at the Rio. Here’s the 411:

I want to invite everyone to the first annual Dia de los RioSwap or Day of the RioSwap. It's going to be an all inclusive bike swap and party. Entry to the Agave Room as well as table reservations are free. The only thing you pay for are the drinks. Come out on Saturday Oct. 17th from 6:00pm to 10:30pm to buy some stuff, sell some stuff and celebrate the bike. Word on the streets is that there will be a couple of pros on hand including a National Champion or two. For questions or to reserve a table visit: Your Group Ride for more info. Remember this isn't only a bike swap its also a party with a fully functioning bar. The Agave Room is located upstairs from the Rio Grande Mexican Resturant, at 143 Mountain Ave. Fort Collins. The door to the Agave Room is just west of the main entrance. The Fort Collins Bike Co-op will be on hand to recycle your unwanted and worn bikes, parts and accessories (including tires and tubes). If you can't sell it donate it! Spread the word!

Trail Day at Devil’s Backbone
One more trail work day is on the books for Devil’s Backbone. It’s this Saturday, October 17, 2009 9 am- 2pm. RSVP to Sean Paul at mailto:teleportal%40yahoo.com if you plan on attending. As always, wear sturdy shoes, bring some gloves, a snack and water.

CSU Working on Trails Website

This past summer, CSU received a new contract to create a public trails website using the data they have collected in the past few years for all of Larimer County trails. In developing the actual web interface, CSU seeks public input on what people like, don’t like, expect, etc., of a variety of existing trail websites. This is where they’d like your assistance. Michelle Kinseth, a graduate student working on this project, has developed a survey instrument that asks users to evaluate some existing trail websites elsewhere in the country. We want to hear what people think of them. The results of the surveys will help guide us in developing the interface for the Larimer County trails project. If you are interested in taking the survey, please let Michelle know and she will send you the necessary links. Email: cotrails@warnercnr.colostate.edu
CS would LOVE to have your input, as you are the real trail users and hopefully will be the ones who USE this site in the future! Thanks very much for your consideration. If you want to be kept up to date on other aspects of the project, or if you want to become more involved, please let CSU know. It would be nice to hear back from you!

And now the calendar:

As the season winds down and the Board of Directors begins planning for next season, please send us your suggestions about what you’d like to see in the future. We’d love to have as much input as possible from the membership in order to help guide our decisions making.

So far, the October Patrol Contest seems to be in the hands of Pete and David Skram. They each have 3 patrols on USFS lands. Can't somebody beat Pete?

Mountain Bike Jersey Order - Several of you have expressed interest in purchasing one of the 3/4 sleeve mountain bike specific jerseys with the Overland Logo. Minimum order is 5. Cost is right around $70.00. Please let Kory know if you'd like to order one.

And, a loud ‘Happy Birthday’ goes out to Joe Perrin today as he turns….hmmm…I’m not exactly sure. Less than 50, I think...

See you on the trails.

Weekly Outlook for the Week of August 10th

Top of the Monday mornin’ to you,

Area cyclists in need…

Please keep Tim Anderson, president of the Fort Collins Velodrome Association and organizer of the Oval Races, and his family in your thoughts this morning. Tim crashed in a bike race over the weekend and has had to have emergency surgery. More details about Tim can be found at Your Group Ride.

Also, if you are unaware, the family of Stu Culp has asked for donations of gift cards to help as they begin Stu’s recovery. To support the family, there will be a Silent Auction this Saturday, August 15th at Peloton. More details can also be found at Your Group Ride.

A few reminders:

Tour de Fat is just around the corner – 4 weeks away. Please spread the word. Sign-ups will be available in the next day or so. Keep an eye out. Also, don’t forget to get your TIPS training dates down. They’re on the Overland calendar.

We'd love to see an upswing in our patrols from now until October. The land agencies depend on our feedback and reports. Thanks to all of you who have been out there actively patrolling. From looking at this past week's totals, it looks like we've seen an upswing in patrols. Nice work. Joe Perrin has leapfrogged Dave Frisbie in patrol points. Pete Skram seems to be running away with the overall points totals at this point in time. Will anyone challenge?

Here’s what's happening this week:

Tuesday

Laramie MTB Series. Check the calendar for details. Also, the Trails Team Meeting was rescheduled to last week. It is canceled tonight.

Wednesday

Singletrack Social – Leave Maxwell by 6 p.m. Social hour at Josh's afterwards. Bring something to share.

(This is the parking lot at the top of the Maxwell Trail across Centennial) So we can plan for lunch, please RSVP by signing up under Member Resources on the website or by emailing dpmbp2008 (at) gmail.com At this point we need a minimum of 11 more people to sign up.

Singletrack Social @ Soderberg - CANCELED - Due to having two trail days on our plate, we'll cancel this week's Singletrack Social for Saturday

Silent Auction for Stu Culp – 5:30 p.m. Peloton Cycles

REMINDER: The next monthly meeting was rescheduled to August 24th at Catalyst Coffee due to a conflict with TIPS Training. Please make a note of it. We'd love to have a big turnout as this is the meeting where we go over a lot of the Tour de Fat information and procedures.

That's about it. Thanks for getting out there.
