FWIW, you can ask for a "landscaping axe" if they go "huh?" when you ask for
a Pulaski.

I found a Nupla McCleod at Big R on Trent and you can usually find Pulaskis at
most Hardware stores. I have yet to find a nice Grub Hoe for sale in town.

Steam Plant, 6 PM. General election, social, annual review and looking at next
year. Beacon maps will be available for purchase; members get one for free.

The future of Fat Tire Trail Riders club is reaching a critical point.  With
Board elections a little over a week away, there has been minimal interest of
people committing to board positions. If the board cannot fill the positions,
there is the strong possibility the club will dissolve and cease to exist.

So what would this mean? No more club sponsored and supported skills clinics;
rides and social events; trail building and maintenance work parties; mountain
bike trail advocacy; and participation in local and regional trail development
to name a few. This is a turning point for the club – either members (or even
non-members  who want to become involved) step up and revitalize the club, or it
will expire.


Currently we have one nomination for President, but the positions of Vice
President, Secretary/Communications, Treasurer, Member at Large nominations
appear to be vacant at this time. This is a simple organization and board
positions require minimal efforts to maintain the continuity of the club. There
are no meetings during the summer months, nor December. The meetings that are
held are to plan activities such as listed above, with most of the communication
occurring via web sites. If you have questions about the positions, please feel
free to contact me, Angie, at 481-8983 or Penny at hm 448-0346/cell 979-5916

we had another very good work day on the new trail on Saturday. 8 people showed
up, including 4 from the Gonzaga Bicycling Club. They heard about the work day
on Twitter and came to check it out. A little training session and off they
went. Good progress on the lower portion of the trail.

The Bike Club guys said that they would consider coming back during the week
with friends if the tools were available. I left the tools with Eric Armstrong.
His phone # is 413-6220. If anyone wants to go and work, they can call Eric and
pick up the tools at his house. He is near Wellesley and Assembly. He will give
his address and directions to pick up and return the tools.

Further work this year is iffy for me. I have family events planned for the next
two weekends. If the weather holds, perhaps Saturday or Sunday after
Thanksgiving will work. We might want to put that as tentative, unless someone
else wants to lead some sessions on the days that I can't be there.

Here is a nice summary of what is going on in regards to discussions on teh
Kettle Crest, and the representation of mountain bike interests in those talks.
Thanks to Al Casile and Tim Banning.

This is a fun way to not feel guilty about extra pie ( or stuffing, or
gravy....) This is my annual tradition, weather depending. Meet me at 9 AM at
Bowl and Pitcher parking. Weather - anything but truly disgusting (very rainy,
snowy) will fly.  It will be a fun loop, 8-10 miles.  Call or email me, RSVPs
are appreciated.

Thanks to all who helped this weekend! We had 6 folks on Sat, and 8 on Sunday. 
Good progress. Most of the burn hill trail has been roughed in. All of the trail
route has been brushed out and is ready for digging.

Please join us next Sat to hopefull complete the work. See the previous posts
for directions.
