Special thanks goes out to all the members that volunteered their time to make this event happen.  A lot of time and work goes into putting on a ride this big.  A great job was done by all that helped!

The trail crew had two more successful trail days.  The first was a new boardwalk in built in Ward Reservation on September 17th.  This job went smoothly with one of the biggest volunteer groups of the season.  On October 15th it was back to Harold Parker to the backside of Sudden Pond.  Two muddy areas were improved on one with a short reroute the second with a rock causeway through a low area.  Using the theory the bigger the rocks the better the job.  This sustainable trail will make any Egyptian proud.

With the end of day light savings time, the Thursday night rides have officially concluded for the season.  We had a great turn out each week with a core group that were there each week and many others that attended when their schedules allowed.  With rider from 13 to 60+ you would be surprised at who sticks the big up hills.  We will start up the rides again next spring so come out and join us.

As we look toward winter the leaves will blow away and the ground will freeze, the traction under the tires is great.  Winter what a great time to ride.
