CANNONDALE DEMO: Cannondale will be bringing in a truck with demo bikes. They
will be at Memorial Park on Sunday March 21st for Demo rides from 9am to 1pm.
The Cannondale truck will then be at the Bay Area Schwinn shop on March 23 for
demo rides and possibly tech clinics. The shop is located at 2049 South Richey,
in Pasadena. The shop is just a couple miles from Hobby Airport. The shop can be
reached at 713-472-6651 for further questions. Know of other demos? Give
GHORBA a heads up and we'll send out the news.

WORK PARTY AT MEMORIAL: We will be having a work party at Memorial Park this
Saturday, March 20th from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. We will be completing dirt
work filling in holes and correcting drainage problems. Please bring shovels
and gloves. We will have drinks and snacks for volunteers. PayDirt hours will
be signed, so please sign in and out with the trail stewards. We will meet in
the parking lot just west of the softball fields on the south side of the park.

NEW GHORBA HATS FOR SALE: Check out the great looking GHORBA hats for $15!
They are black brushed cotton hats with the GHORBA logo embroidered in electric
blue. You can order them online through the website or grab one at the next
GHORBA event.

GHORBA CAMPOUT & RIDE: GHORBA will be hosting a ride and camp-out at Stephen F.
Austin State Park on Saturday, March 27th. GHORBA volunteers have worked
incredibly hard to build new trails at this park and would love to show them
off! The park is beautiful with hardwood trees everywhere, a great view of the
Brazos river, lots of deer, and great camping. The plan is to ride in the
afternoon starting at about 2:00 p.m., then heat up the grill for a laid-back
dinner amongst riders and friends. There's a grocery store down the road, so we
will make food determinations based upon people present. Please bring side
dishses and refreshments. We will ride again in the morning about 9:00 a.m.
Camping Reservations: (512) 389-8900 (they are close to full...we're trying to
find out how many tents can be put up at each site).

Don't like camping? Come out and ride with us on Sunday! The great folks of
Northwest Cycling Club will also be joining us to make it super weekend!!!

Directions: Take I-10 west approximately 35 miles to FM 1458 just east of Santa
Fe, Texas (before you get to Sealy). You will see a large Knox truck stop on
your right where you need to exit. Head north about 1 mile and look for the park
entrance on your left, Park Road 38. Check in at the ranger station and head
towards the back of the park. The camping area is where GHORBA will be
stationed. Look for the GHORBA banner and new tent!

WET TRAILS REMINDER: Please be kind to the trails in Houston!!! When it's wet,
it only takes one or two people to create ruts in the trails and detour proper
drainage requiring hours of volunteer time to correct. Everyone is wanting to
be off-road..just hold on a little longer for the warm weather to come an dry up
everything around town. :)

SKILLZ CLINIC: The GHORBA board is working on a date for our annual spring
riding clinic. Details to follow!!!

WACO NATIONALS: GHORBA would like to congratulate everyone who raced in Waco
last weekend! Velonews and other publications had lots to say about the pro
races and the course! Texas should be proud!
