OK, so this week is the REAL last week for Peter to join us (supposedly...) before heading to Japan.  His last-request ride was Santa Cruz, which I'm happy to ablige.  We'll meet at the Rincon parking lot (big dirt lot on the right, aka "fishing hole" parking lot) on hwy 9 at 6pm, ride by 6:15.  Other option is to carpool from Xilinx lot at 5:10pm.  Let me know who's in and who wants to meet at Xilinx.

Need to ask a favor - I have some bike parts I need to swap with a guy
who lives in Martinez. He's able to drive to other places in the East
Bay to meet. I'm hoping someone heading up that way from down here
might be willing/able to help me over the next week or so - I'll owe
you a beer :-)

BTW - there are now a few of us in.  Rich Davis and I are going to
head down Friday evening from the South Bay.  As a combined B-day and
Fathers Day gift, I got a hall pass from Shaney for the weekend.
Though I'm currently planning a slightly different itinerary for
Sunday - instead of sticking around, Rich and I may take off Saturday
evening and head up to Bass Lake to ride the extended 007 course
(something, like the Cannell Plunge, that I've been wanting to do for
years).

yes you can shorten the travel on a 120 to 100 or 80, you just can't
go the other way (i.e. 80mm to 120mm)...not that there is anything
wrong with that:)

North Yuba Extension Join us our Spring Mountain Epic on North Yuba/Halls Ranch/Fiddle Creek May 17th-18th Hey Scotty, Can you believe it's already May! The flowers are blooming, the bikes are out of the garage and the smell of summer is in the air ... which means EPIC TIME!  Get your season started right with a trip to the Sierra to play on your favorite trails with your favorite people. RSVP This Epic will be hosted by Marin Bikes and Hoppy Brewery(thank guys!) Marin will be providing its demo bike fleet, featuring the latest Quad XC, Quad Trail and Quad XLT full suspension bike along with Marin Bikes staff to provide professional tuning tips. We will also have pro 24 hour and endurance racer Yuri Hauswald on hand for coaching. Learn more about the Spring Epic here > Please RSVP so we can feed all you trail loving people. *remember, you must have a current SBTS membership to participate.  You can sign up online or in person at the event with check or cash(min $50/yr contribution). Email us if you're unsure when your membership expires or click on "your membership info" at the header of this email. Dain and Jackie from our last Trail Daze Trail news: The North Yuba Extension is so close to being done we can almost taste it. We have less than two miles 'til it is complete. We've been out there every week pushing towards the finish line. This trail is unique because it is the only non motorized multi-use trail in the Downieville vicinity. Completion of this section will add a new 14 mile trail straight out of town. SHOUT OUT: Thanks to the Mad Cat Bicycles crew who came and helped last week.  You guys rule! Anyone who can come up to help finish this trail will get a free paid vacation(food & housing) in exchange for some volunteer trail work hours with us. You can join our trail builders during the week or weekend - whatever your schedule will allow. Those who can get up there this month will make the difference. Email Wayno to coordinate your visit or call the Yuba House  at 530-289-2766. Lets make this vision a reality! Invest in us Because our work is largely volunteer driven, your investment gets multiplied when you support us. A $25 donation = $416 when we feed 2 volunteers for the day. A $50 donation = $832  when we feed 4 volunteers for the day. A $100 donation = $1664 when we feed 8 volunteers for the day. Volunteer hours = in kind contribution of $26/hr. That's a 1,664% return on your investment! Whoa. SBTS can turn the price of your cel phone bill ($50) into almost 1K of in kind labor. That's an investment you can feel good about. Please support our work. *All Contributions are tax deductible.* See you at the EPIC! Ron, Greg, Wayno, Nica, Chris, Brett, Carter, Tim, and Debbie ps. We will have a new website soon. Stay tuned.

Subject: [teamwrongway] Mark Reynolds memorial fund and the CCCX DH tomorrow



Friends,

Mark Reynolds was a family man, tech guy and avid mountain biker in
the Bay Area. His passion for the sport inspired him to create his
company "Wicked Racin" to create high quality products for gravity
riders. He was racing Downhill at the Sea Otter on April 19th and he
never made it to the finish line.

While I did not know Mark personally, his life, career path and
passion for mountain biking is similar to my own and describes the
many mountain bikers that I have the privilege of knowing in the Bay
Area. I have been contacted by close friends and family of Mark and I
have learned so much about his life in these past few weeks. I feel
saddened by the fact that I may have ridden with him in the past but I
never really got to know him.

Mark was passionate about mountain biking and wanted to bring more
people into the sport. He was generous with his time, teaching his
friends how to jump and be better riders. Mark's family have set up a
memorial fund to honor his memory which will raise money towards
projects related to mountain biking. Some of the potential projects
include:

* helping to establish a local freeride or jump park that will be
named in Mark's honor
* supporting local mountain bike trail maintenance
* purchasing a bench that will be permanently installed in one of
Mark's favorite riding spots such as the Demonstration Forest or
Mammoth Mountain

There will be raffle at the CCCX DH season finale in June which will
benefit the memorial fund. Raffle tickets will be sold at the race
tomorrow. Details about the CCCX DH race is here:
http://www.cccx.org/dh/2008/index.shtml

To contribute to the Mark Reynolds memorial fund, please visit this
site: http://www.wickedracin.com/wickedracin/default.htm
<http://www.wickedracin.com/wickedracin/default.htm>

As a friend and mountain biker I'm asking you to contribute to the
Mark Reynolds Memorial fund. I believe that his generosity to the
sport will benefit all Northern Californian mountain bikers and
visitors to our region. A thriving mountain biking community, great
trails and parks is an honorable legacy to Mark.

If you're looking at it for world wide travel, it could be useful.
If you're looking at it for Northern California, there is plenty to be
found at mtbr.com and just asking on this site. People will point you
to the free information.
