Time to pull the bike back out front in the garage and put the snow showels in the back corner. Take note of the dates for the 2010 Events so you don’t miss any. Arcadia, Big River, Lincoln Woods, all great places to ride.

Consider joining a weekly ride group. This year if you’re a Nemba member and sign the ride wavier at each group ride you not only get a chance at a free Single Speed 29er from RI Nemba’s raffle BUT you also get a shot at a Moots 29er from the Nemba raffle. Not a bad deal for just showing up and ridin your bike ~

Hope to see you on the trails

Sorry all, we tried to ride in Burlingame today and there are at least five inches of heavy snow.

Our ride lasted about 200 yards of twisting and sliding and getting pushed around by the deep, heavy mess, before we bailed onto the road.

By Sunday, even if much of it melts, it is going to be a mess in there. I’d rather cancel it earlier than later so people from farther parts can rearrange.

There is no postponement, either. It is going to be messy in there for awhile…

Thanks to all who volunteered their help,

Here’s Al (vp for Big River) presenting a check for $900. to the West Greenwich Conservation Commission. Its the proceeds from the First Annual “Tour Du Big River” held last September. Its our financial contribution to the 2010 Big River Clean-up. The date for the event was set last night for Saturday April 10th, so mark your calenders.
