February Newsline
First things first: HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
Second, some good news: I have been contacted recently by two individuals interested in our club. One is Mark (sorry, don’t know his last name) who recently moved into the area from Colorado, near Cotapaxi, where he was a member of RMTA. His wife Susan raises Clydesdale horses! The other is Tony Sargent who has already visited our club with his trials bicycle and is ready to try it with a motor. Tony recently bought a 2004 GasGas 280. Please welcome them (I am sure I don’t have to tell anyone to do that!) if you see them at an event. They are both on my mailing list.
Next, some bad news: Both Mark and Tony tried to get info off of our web page. Both commented that the info there is out of date. Something needs to be done to make our website a valuable tool for our club.
More good news: Matt Hopkins has agreed to be our new Webmaster! Plans are to post our 2007 schedule, news, newslines and ?. Matt has the green light to GO WILD! Feel free to talk to Matt about posting pictures or anything else you would like to see on the website. Thanks Matt!
I am sorry I neglected to include the “want ads” in last months issue so….

January 2007 Trails
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! It’s cold! Yup, and the snow is deep. Got some ice too! I bet I couldn’t even get into the Quarry if I tried. I know I couldn’t get out if I did get in!! My knee is kinda bothering me today too. Nobody in their right mind would try to ride a trials on a day like today. You’d have to be crazy! I think I’ll just stay home, wrapped up in my blankey on the couch, all warm and snuggly, have a few beers, chips and dip and watch the NFL Playoffs!
You may have had other reasons for not going to Trenton for a setup and ride January trials but as far as I know, nobody showed up! I guess we are not that crazy.
So guess what? Our February trials is scheduled for this Sunday at Trenton and the weather is not cooperating at this point. But if it clears off and warms up I am sure people will show up. This is also a setup and ride event. See you there!?
