If you like strange and unusual bikes.

See http://freakbikenation.homestead.com

We now have a chapter in Delaware.

I'm going out to Middlerun tomorrow after work (around 100pm) if any
one cares to join. Bird sanctuary parking lot, look for Big-Black &
Tan, the never die Chevy p/u.

Hello All,

My apologies for the late start in calling for volunteers for this
years race, but here we are. As most of you all know, our race is one
of the largest in the east and therefore requires a lot of help to be
successful. This is the clubs single largest event and yields the bulk
of our budget. Without which we could not fund our projects, donate to
the parks, plant trees, etc.. A small donation of your time on Sunday
July 13th will make sure that we can.

Typically, it takes 60 -70 people to run this race. We have a wide
range of jobs to be filled, so there is something for everyone (i.e.
no experience needed). Jobs include: section leaders, 2-3 folks to
work with the section leader, sweeps, help with registration, parking,
water stops, etc.. For any of you out there that haven't worked a race
it is a really fun day and a great way to meet some of the membership.
Racing on Sunday? Sign up to help work with a sect leader to get the
trails in shape before hand. Friends and family members welcome to
come out as well, in the past we've had families work a water stop
together, lots o' fun! So give a little of your time to help out and
help secure our access to these great parks we ride.

So PLEASE, contact me by e-mail: moran1900@... or through the
yahoo group if you are interested. I will need some contact info
(e-mail and cell#, this will NOT be posted) and what you might like to
do if you have a preference. I would like to get all of the section
leaders (~8) filled as soon as possible though. Thanks very much....
more to follow!!!

BMX RACING TO BE FEATURED ON NBC'S TODAY SHOW - WATCH IT ON APRIL 30

On April 30, NBC, the official US Olympic broadcaster for the 2008 Games, is
giving BMX its 15 minutes of fame. The NBC Today Show, which is expected to
draw more than 6 million viewers, will be filmed 'Live' from Rockefeller
Plaza in downtown, New York City. Two separate live segments will be filmed
to showcase the sport and create hype for the Olympics.

You might even see Meredith Vieira aboard a GT or Free Agent bike and she'll
be joined by several other co-hosts and three well-known Olympic Hopefuls;
Kyle Bennett, Donny Robinson and Arielle Martin. A few younger riders will
also be featured on the program to give the audience a true perspective on
the sport, so be sure to watch the whole show.

The project was coordinated in part by NBC, NBL, ABA, and proudly sponsored
by Free Agent Bicycles, GT Bicycles, Fly Racing, Fire-Magic Premium Grills,
Jig-A-Loo, and Pro-Gate.

Here are the exciting details:
The Track: Mini-First straight, approx 120', with a roller and 16' set of
doubles. A modified 2-person start gate, emulating the Olympic gate, will be
perched on a special start-ramp to showcase the start. The track will be
built by Tom Ritzenthaler, who built the Olympic track in Beijing, China.

Date: April 30
Time (EST): 7-11am
Location: Rockefeller Plaza, NYC
Program: NBC Today Show
Confirmed Hosts: Meredith Vieira / Kenan Harkin, NBC Olympic Color Analyst
Athletes: Kyle Bennett, Donny Robinson, Arielle Martin
Attendees:  Bob Tedesco, Kevin O'Brien, Staff / NBL, BA Anderson, Staff /
ABA, Kenan Harkin / NBC BMX Olympic Analyst, Tom Ritzenthaler, Olympic Track
Builder
Sponsors:  NBL, ABA, USA Cycling, Free Agent, GT, Fly Racing, Fire-Magic

I just talked to Chuck who's been out trimmin' some of the trails at
  Fair Hill, and he says it's fine to ride! It's a little damp, but not

  The Tuesday evening Beginner ride is on! Leaves at 5:30 from the

Sounds like you're in the same boat I am. A decade ago I lived on my
bike, now I am trying to start riding again. I've been riding
whiteclay/ middle run a lot lately and have re-learned middle run. I
haven't had the opportunity to ride much at fairhill yet, but I have
a group that rides every Tuesday (not the trail spinners beginner
group) at Fairhill (normally) at 530pm. We also try to ride at
Middlerun every Sunday afternoon. Send me an e-mail if your
interested in joining, we have all skill levels.

We pretty much all ride on weekends.  Many weekend rides are
announced in this group.  With the exception of the Saturday beginner
ride after trail maintenance at White Clay Creek, there are no
regular weekend rides.

You have probably found the Delaware Trailspinners web site if you
found this group, but just in case:

www.trailspinners.org

Regular rides at Fair Hill are on Tuesday and Thursday.

Hi there,

I used to mtn bike very regularly about a decade ago, but somehow got
away from it and wound up spending the last several years riding my
mtn bike on the road.  I refuse to buy a road bike.  :)

Anyhow, I live 3 minutes from Fair Hill, and I'm looking for people to
ride with.  I went out this past weekend and I was in heaven.  Don't
know how I forgot what a joy it is.  I have no idea how I would rate
my riding level, but I think I'm fairly strong and my technical skills
will take a little polishing up.

If anyone can point me in the direction of a group who rides on
weekends, that would be great.

Thanks!
Jen

Yes it’s true.  We’re playing in the dirt tomorrow morning and teaching a
bunch of new riders how to bike safely in the afternoon!  Come out to either or
both activities and enjoy the weather!  I’m still trying to get through to
people on what tasks we’ll take on in the morning but it looks like either
de-burming some trails or adding to the “LOGZILLA” trail or both.  Either
way bring gloves and water and we’ll see you at McGlynns a little before 9:00.

Bob Gaston has volunteered to head up both.

Work Party meets at McGlynn's 9 AM.

Intro meets at 9 Foot Rd. parking area 1 PM.

Head's up for folks who plan to ride in Middle Run on Saturday, April
19. We have been requested to not use the parking lot at Pike Creek
Bible Church due to a large event planned at the church. This is a one-
day event so please plan on parking somewhere else. You can park in the
McGlynn's parking lot and ride over to the trail head, use the day-use
parking lot across from the Bird Sanctuary or park in White Clay.

Also, please avoid changing clothes in the parking lot of the church.
Especially if this results in unseemly exposures. There are often
children present and the sight of some of you unclothed could mar them
for life.

The church has been and continues to be very supportive of our use of
their parking area. So please abide by their requests.

After some discussion, it looks like 5:30 PM will be a better time for
the official start of the weekly Tuesday and Thursday rides at Fair
Hill. Our webmeister has changed the DTS website to show this new time.
For folks who can make it, go ahead and meet at 5 PM for a little
warm-up. But many people simply can't make it out from work for a 5 PM
start. So see you tomorrow at North Appleton for the official start at
5:30 PM.

I'll be there!
