Hi guys.  I recently got a new bike and need to unload my old one.
It's a 2005 silver Specialized Hard Rock Sport.  Here are the specs:

19" frame
Specialized Enduro 26x2.20 tires
Shimano Acera derailer
TruVativ FireX crank
Wellgo metal platform pedals
Specialized stats computer

I bought it last year for $400, $200 or best offer takes it home
today.
Email with any questions or if you want a pic.
Thanks!

[Being forwarded for Leah and Chris] Leah Lokan <lokanator@...>

As the riding season comes to a close the POP would like to celebrate a busy
and productive year with a year-end BBQ and mountain bike ride.  The ride
will be from Leah and Chris' "ranchita" up along the Cowboy Trail and for
the energetic ones on up towards Wylie Knob.  Please bring a potluck dish
and a change of clothes for relaxing, horseshoes, and R&R afterwards. Times
and dates may change due to weather.  Lets hope for some great Indian summer
and hope you can all be there for one of the few last great rides.
POP YR END ROAST AND RIDE
DATE:  SAT, OCT. 1ST.
TIME :  10 AM RIDE
                1 PM "ish" BBQ
PLACE:  1227 GROUSE CREEK RD (about 25 min north of  Sandpoint) or 265-7979
for more info
                 North 95 to Colburn Culver, east on CC about 5 miles to
Grouse Creek Cutoff.  Left on Grouse Creek Cutoff, go about 11/2 miles,
through gravel pit to Grouse Creek Rd.  Take a right on Grouse Creek Rd and
there you are. First drive on left with 1227 numbers on entry fence.  Lots
of parking and open space.  Would be nice to get a response if you can be
there. Thanks, Leah and Chris.

If any of you are interested in being the person in charge on a trail
project, this would be a good one. It should be straightforward. It is a
good opportunity for someone who really wants to do a little more than just
show up. Just speak up sometime in the next week.

Pedalers,

I just spoke with Mary Ann Hamilton with the Forest Service.  We had
originally agreed to lead a trail maintenance project on Gold Hill Trail #3
that day.  For us to do this, we need to have someone from the club step
forward and shepherd this project.  Will it be you?

The project:
==============
Basically, the project would consist of assembling a trail crew with tools
and doing the same kind of trail maintenance that we did earlier this year
on the Mineral Point trail (cut back overgrowth, remove troublesome stumps
and rocks, clean the tread and work on corners).  Then, of course, ride the
trail with pride of ownership!!

Mary Ann will not be able to attend as she is leaving tomorrow morning for
Mississippi to aid in the disaster recovery efforts and will return only in
time to participate in the Mickinnick Trail Open House which will be
occurring also on the 24th.

So if you wish the club to participate in Public Lands Day, consider
stepping up to lead the effort.  Please reply to the list letting everyone
know you are interested and then others, I'm quite sure will step up to
help.  If no one steps forward to lead this, it may very well not happen.

Roadie Pedalers,

Bob Philips and I rode the 50 mile version of this ride on Sunday.  The
ride, sponsored by the Newport/Priest River Rotary and Newport Kiwanis left
Newport Park, headed SW out of town on Hwy 2 for a couple miles before
leaving the Highway for more scenic rural roads.  We continued heading SW
(unfortunately they ran out of route sheets so my recollection of all the
roads is limited!) from town.  Bob and I hooked up with a bunch of riders
from the Baddlands Bicycle Racing Club (Spokane) and rode most of the ride
with them or frantically chasing them down <g>.

For those who know the area, we worked our way SW and then north, crossing
Hwy 2 south of Pend Oreille State Park.  We then worked our way north toward
Sacheen Lake which we skirted and then returned to Newport via Deer Valley
Road.

The weather was delightful, the route scenic and inspiring, the roads good
(a fair section of Deer Valley Rd was recently chip-sealed, but then we are
used to that over here!) and the support excellent.  There were three rest
stops on the 50-miler (most riders passed the third stop). Each stop had a
nice selection of fruit, home-made cookies, other snacks and water and
Gatorade.  Lunch after the ride consisted of huge baked potatoes with a
smorgasbord of yummy toppings.

All this plus a t-shirt for $30 (including the $5 late reg. fee).
Approximately 130 riders participated in the three different routes: 15, 30
and 50 miles. Bob and I agreed it was well worth the short 30 minute drive
over and will do it again next year, Saturday of Labor Day weekend.  We
invite you to consider joining us!


   -- Jim

those of you planning to ride the single track hill climb can find a
description of the route (posted today) at
http://www.adbikes.us/course_descrip.html
and a map of the route at
http://www.selkirkrecreationdistrict.com/images/TrailsWeb.gif.

If you didn't get this message yet check out the "join IMBA" link. If you
want to be an individual member, you can get the t-shirt or socks for
joining.

If you participated in the weekend, you know how much fun it was. More fun
is on tap:
This Saturday we should ride at Schweitzer in conjunction with the brews and
blues festival.
Sunday the 4th is a road ride in Newport.
Saturday the 10th trail building 8-noon
Sunday the 11th is Schweitzer Hill climb.
That leaves Monday the 5th: Labor Day. Anybody want to make plans?

Mark

Thanks for posting this Bob.  I saw the article in the Bee and you beat me
to posting it!  Proceeds go to benefit the local (Newport/Priest River)
Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs.

I'm considering doing it, anyone wish to join me?   263-3567

P.S. I think I have now set the POP group reply feature to allow individual
replies as well as group replies.

Group ride out of Newport, WA 9/4.
15, or 30 or 50 miles.
$30, because the early rate cut-off has passed.
T-shirt, lunch included.

Cathy Stolarik 509/ 292 - 8401

Pedalers,

As you've read in my other message today, I've just returned from a couple
weeks down-state.  One thing I've noticed is the lack of traffic (read:
none) on the newly created POP listserver.  Not that this is wrong, but
since it's been created, we might as well use it to communicate club and
other cycling related activities.  Doing a weekend ride and want others to
join?  Post a message a day or two in advance and see what happens!  :)

Mark Savarise had a problem posting to the group recently because he sent a
message from a different e-mail account than he used to register with the
Yahoo Group.  Just a note to all: you must post to the Group using the same
e-mail account you used to subscribe or add the alternate one which you can
do by accessing your Yahoo account membership (My Account) after entering
the Yahoo Group site:  http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups

Here again are the essential addresses necessary to post and manage your

"A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life
when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never
sit."
    - D. Elton Trueblood

Hi Pedalers!

I just returned from a fabulous week touring the southwestern part of our
wonderful state with Colleen in the inaugural Ride Idaho tour.  What a
delightful week it was.

We had approx. 60 folks doing the full week ride including a newly wed
couple (got married on Sunday and joined us on Monday for the rest of the
week!), and folks from nine different states. Ages ranged from a teenager
with his mom to a 75 year old woman!  She was great!  More folks joined us
on the initial day, Sunday the 14th from Boise to Payette, and then again
from Crouch to Idaho City and Boise last Friday & Saturday.

For me several things stand out about this ride:

* everyone felt extremely safe considering Idaho is not known for being
bicycle friendly.  We had motorcycle police escorts each day patrolling the
route and even performing moving traffic breaks!  We felt like a special
racing peloton!

* the organizers, wishing to make a big positive impact, bent over backwards
for all of us, even modifying their "agenda" when we wished.  They really
want to make this a premier state tour.

* live music several nights by very good regional bands.  We were also
serenaded by Motor Officer Rich on his bagpipe several nights.

* Option to do a raft trip on the North Fork of the Payette River south of
Cascade.  Beautiful river away from the highway.  We also rented a pontoon
boat and cruised around Payette Lake in McCall.

* the camaraderie of the group was very evident at the completion in Boise
on Saturday.  The staff even created a CD from all the digital cameras on
the trip so everyone could share each others photos.


So, if you're interested in participating next year (as we are) mark this
page and check back as the organizers decide on the route and dates for that
ride.  They may do the same loop or do it backwards or head over to the
Stanley area.  A tour in our neck of the woods is also being considered, but
probably not in the next few years.

http://www.rideidaho.org/


I'll be preparing a laptop photo slideshow of the ride and bring it to the
next Pedaler meeting I can attend.  That'll probably be October as I'll be
helping Colleen move up here in mid-September!
