A little movie…

September 1st, 2010

There’s a little movie of the last ride of the 2010 Arcadia Ride Series up on the RI Nemba facebook page. I can’t really put it up here because the file is too big (and we don’t pay for that kind of bandwidth).

We broke into four ride groups. Fast lead by Steve, slightly less fast (Alan), my group and relaxed (Wayne). Trying a new thing with little movies to convey some of what RI Nemba is up to.

Woman’s Ride Sept 4th

August 31st, 2010

Update: *** From Beth (respond to her at msbc14@verizon.net ) ***

Due to the weather forecast and the high amount of rain predicted, I think it would be best for us to change the women’s ride to this Sunday (9/5/10) instead of Saturday. Same place and same start time, just a day later. I think this will make for a better ride. Hopefully this does not really mess up anybody’s weekend plans.

Hope to see you Sunday! I will be at tonight’s ride if anyone wants to discuss the change.

Thanks
Beth

Hey everyone, I am planning a women’s ride for Saturday September 4th if anyone is interested: Where: Big River Management Area. W. Greenwich, RI. Exit 6 off Rte 95, south on Rte 3, parking area immediately on left at top of Burnt Saw Mill Rd. Because this is an organized ride we will need to sign the waiver form. Plea…se see me to sign in on your existing form. New riders- please try to bring your own copy which can be found at this site.

RIDES:9:00 AM I was thinking about starting with a short/simpler loop ending back at the parking lot at 10:00 AM. At that point those who have had enough can leave and those who want to go out for a bit more of a challenge can head out for another hour or more. So, the plan right now is a relaxed/warmup ride at 9:00 followed by an intermediate ride at 10:00. Come for one or come for both. If anyone knows of any women (not already a part of this email list) that may be interested in a women’s ride, please forward this email to them. All are welcome! Hope to see a good turn out :-) Beth msbc14@verizon.net

The big Burlingame trail work day is coming again!

On Saturday September 11th, we have a pretty extensive project planned in Burlingame. There is lots of damage from the spring rains and several different areas are up for fixing.

To mention a few: Gravel near the end of Vin Gormley, bridges near the drain pipes at the end of VG, kiosk 6×6 steps near the kiosk, gravel at the playground waterbars, more water bars and steps near Klondike…

Can anyone out there drive a Bobcat? We need a driver!

As usual, bring a snack, bug spray, work gloves, hydration…AMC usually has most of the tools covered, but I’ll follow up with an email if not.

The day is usually a pretty short one and we work from 9:00-12:00 or 1:00. We meet at plot 492.

Hope you can make it! Please respond to this email if you can!

Volunteers Needed !
