Spring Newsletter

This week's blog is in two parts. The NEWSLETTER and the agenda below for the Trails Team Meeting on Tuesday.

Have a great week. See you on Wednesday for the ride. We'll either hit Josh's afterwards and console him or head to Maya Cove at the corner of Drake and Taft Hill.

Keep those knobbies rolling.

Race Photos

Hey All,

Just a quick note, some NBB Short Track Photos can be found on our website @ www.overlandmtb.org/gallery Click on the 'Events on the Trail' Gallery.

And if you haven't made it out the the races, there are still 2 left. Great time had by kids and adults alike whether you're participating or spectating.

Hope to see you out there next week.

Day At The Races

I've never been the racer type...well, that is until I moved to Fort Collins. And although I didn't race this past Tuesday, I have a few on the calendar for this season. But enough about me.
(BTW: That's Charlie on the left and Bill on the right after beating themselves into the ground for 30 minutes. Dont' they look like they had fun? Nice work boys.)

The First Race of the Short Track Mountain Bike Series out back behind New Belgium Brewery was a perfect example of what is great about this town. On a Tuesday night, well over 100 people showed up to race. Little kids, big kids, and women and men of all ages. On top of that, a bunch of people showed up to spectate, take pictures, and volunteer to make sure the evening went smoothly. The atmosphere was positive, focused on fun and it seemed like everyone from the race director to the racers to the people hanging out on the hill watching, had a great time.

Weather permitting, we'll be back out there next Tuesday. First race begins at 4:30. Hope to see you out there. (Another BTW: For those of you who have kids, it's a family friendly event. When they weren't watching the races, the playground equipment and a huge sandbox kept my kids busy.)
