Hello MTBer's,

Here's wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year!

Thanks to all the people who helped build and maintain trails, here or anywhere. Without trail volunteers we'd all be roadies, or overweight. ;-)

Hunting Season is here and since we don't want to be trampled by an ever growing herd of out of control deer we will need to give up our trails for a few weekends so the hunters can take some deer.
The dates are: November 18th-20th
December 1st-4th
January 13th-15th

The park is off limits to all but hunters on those dates.

Hey guys and gals, this here is a chance for you to test ride some titanium sweetness! Litespeed will have Ti and Carbon road and mountain bikes (not sure about carbon mtb's) available, as well as Quintana Roo TT bikes if that's your thing. You will definitely need a helmet, and ID, your own pedals and a credit card may well be needed too so have em handy. This is in at the same time as the tuesday night time trial at the main trailhead, 5:30-8:30. These demo guys want you to ride their bikes, even you aren't really in the market for a new bike, so go out and ride to your hearts content!

I won't spam you with the exact copy of what I typed in the Club Announcements forum but instead ask you to visit that thread, read it and hopefully chime in.

Nuts and bolts of the deal however are Friday Aug 5th through Sunday morning CORBA will have some campsites reserved in the main Comlara campground for you, me, and anyone else who wants to come out. These will be our base for riding and hanging out for the weekend. Come join us for as much or as little as you want!

On Saturday the 18th boutique brand Ibis will be here with their demo truck with Mountain and Cyclocross bikes for your riding pleasure. Ibis cycles is a rapidly growing company whos bikes have been getting rave reviews in magazines and on forums since their rebirth in 2002. Come ride what some say are the best bikes available. Again at the main trailhead, they will be here from 1-4pm. Bring ID, helmet, and pedals. You can check out their product line at ibiscycles.com

On July 9th join in the local charity road ride Pedaling for Kicks. More info is available in the group rides forum, or at www.pedalingforkicks.com

On Tuesday June 14th Specialized will be back in town with the latest and greatest bikes for you to ride. They will have Road and Mountain bikes including women's specific models so you ladies can check out the goods too! This event was a huge success last year and we expect more of the same this year so come on out to the main trailhead at Comlara Park from 4-8pm and demo the best Specialized has to offer. You will need ID and a helmet to ride, having your own pedals is also a good idea.

See you at the Demo!
