Thursdays meeting wrapped up

okay so we pretty much stayed on task last night following the agenda Casey laid out for the meeting. I will try to sum it up.
Summer took over this blog site and I plan on keeping it updated quite frequently as I gather new info, pics, race and or ride dates. I also plan on adding a link to fluid rides site as to keep you informed on our race series this year.
-We recently had a bulldozer up on our hill to clear a common area at the end of the finish line as well as roughed in a slalom coarse. We will soon have an excavator up there to do the detail work.
-a security issue has come up, we have been seeing alot of quads in our area, there is no exception to their existence on green crow land so if you see them, let them know to leave, if they don't we will have a number of greencrows security which has the potential to issue tickets so more on this later.
-SHUTTLE DAY! okay so we decieded to host a shuttle day MARCH 8th and 9th, this is coming up soon complete with the big U-haul trucks again so spread the word ! I will post the details soon
-FLUID RIDE CUP, first race is held April 4th ,5th and 6th so mark that down on your calendar. for more info go to Fluid rides website www.fluidride.com
-Speedy Beavers are coming up this weekend so for those of you who want to come check out some hot chicks that rip, that would be this weekend.
-NEXT MEETING will be at Ricks Place on March 6th hope to see you there
-NEXT RIDE will be February 17th 8:30 at the Park and Ride right before the junction Tavern. We will be riding the Olympic Discovery Trail starting at the Elwah bridge

Finally, something new.

Sorry, we haven't kept up on the blog. We will make a renewed effort to keep all current info up here for all to see.

RIDER CARDS
The rider cards are now available and being distributed. $20 gets you a pass to ride anytime someone from the club is riding, which is pretty much every weekend. There is usually trailwork involved as well. Where does this $$ go? In order to keep this thing going, we have to carry an increasingly expensive insurance policy which takes up most, if not all, of the proceeds. In the past, we just covered it ourselves but that has become unsustainable.

The pass will also give you discounts for any events we have, including races, poker runs, and shuttle days.

Thursdays have turned into the unofficial night ride days. This week we will be doing an xc loop up on Dry Hill. We will also be going other places such as the Foothills, the Adventure Trail, Mt. Muller??(better hurry), Dungeness, etc. We will try to post them.

This Sunday, the 11th we will be working on a few trail projects including trying to finish One-Liner. Now that we are riding it, I can't wait to finish it. The start ramp, a bridge on Limbo and a few other things are options as well. It will be raining, so what else are you going to do???

Come back soon.

Register Through IMBA

If your planning on attending this event please register through IMBA at:

www.imba.com and follow the trail care crew schedule to the Port Angeles link.

There is no charge for this event we are just trying to track numbers to better plan.

Thanks

IMBA is coming!

I will post the flyer shortly, but here's a little info.

The IMBA Trail Care Crew is coming to visit Dry Hill August 23-26. Most of the public events are going to be on Saturday and Sunday. The trail project we chose is to extend One-Liner down to the bottom and it will actually merge into the White Knuckle right at the bottom. This will be both a great DH trail and a nice finish to an XC Loop.

We've got a pretty good, and well known DH scene up there, but there is quite a bit of XC as well. We will be focusing our attention on expanding the XC part of the hill for next year, (at least I will). We would really like to get some local XC'ers involved that see the potential we have here as well. A good base of existing trails, great elevation, perfect dirt, very little mud, year round riding, outstanding views in every direction, and oh yeah, landowner cooperation, are a few reasons to focus on this hill.

I could go on and on but I won't.

Keep an eye out for a flyer or go to one of the local shops to pick one up.
