RIDE

Hey Bikers
This Sunday will be at Old Forge. Ride time 9am.

Nor chaux

Some of our northern MBMers (Ray, Brett) coming out of the woods in Adams County, east of Bendersville. The Weds. night northern ride went a bit into dark last night. When this (heavily brightened) shot was taken, we still had to climb up to Piney Mountain, and then down & up to Ridge Road where we started. Seemed like it got dark pretty quik last night.

MEMBER POLLING

The Chambersburg Pump Track project needs support. MBM President, Larry Camp, is personally heading up this project and has asked for member feedback on two issues: first, a club donation to the project and second, a commitment to help maintain the track.

It is important to remember that this is a municipal project NOT a club project.

As a result, the club has no future financial obligations and according to the Chambersburg Recreation Department and others - no liability exposure.

Please see the Chambersburg Pump Track Blog for a video, more information, and to make a individual donation.

Thanks

Thurs. night ride

Jody's new camera, but he doesn't have blog permissions yet.

Nice camera, takes fast pics, high-resolution, straps to the stem.

Very nice ride,
we indulged in a bit of heaven.

Watch for thefts at our ride spots!

You've read about it in the paper, you've seen it on the news - catalytic converter theft. Well, yesterday afternoon it hit home. My wife parked our Jeep at Caledonia to take the kids to the pool. When she got back to the vehicle and started it up, it sounded like she was entering a NASCAR race. Lo and behold, someone had cut the catalytic converter off the Jeep and the rest of the exhaust was just hanging there dragging on the ground.

DCNR wrote up a report for our insurance agency and also informed us we were the third victim at Caledonia in the last two days. It ain't cheap to fix when they cut it the way the do, ours is going to be over $1000 to replace.

SO - watch for suspicious activity when you are parking for a ride! If I catch any of these f**kers in the act it's gonna be vigilante justice time....

Sunday
Meet at Caledonia ride at 9am

tour day pa

So the riders are coming through thursday afternoon and we're planning on riding out to the mountain to see them climb. We will meet at the memorial park in chambersburg by the tennis courts and leave at 9:30. I guess we should plan on riding 60 or 70 for the round trip. Sorry i'm late getting this posted. It sounds like there is already a group of between 6 and 10 riders. See you then.
