BARBER’S BLURB AUGUST 2010

MEETING LOCATION

We are changing the meeting location for this month. We are going to the MERA cabin. This is your chance to see it. If you want to ride in, meet at the Fox Hill parking area BEFORE 6:30 and Ray will lead you around to the cabin. If you want to drive in, go up Owsley Canyon, turn left at the Y onto Mt Emily road. Continue past the last house (where the road turns to crap) to the 4 way junction. Take the left (low road) through the green gate. Follow the road to the turn off to the cabin and park. There is very little parking at the cabin, so we will shuttle people up if necessary. Call me if you have any questions. 541 805-0172

MERA

The MERA Master Plan is completed.

ELECTIONS

We held elections at last months meeting. President (Chris Hedden), Secretary/Treasurer (Mark Barber), and board members Ray Clements and Art Chase were all re-nominated and re-elected to the same positions.

PARADE

The Union County Fair Parade is coming up August 6 and we are in it again. It is good exposure for the club. It would be great to have a large turn out this year. The crowd always likes the kids when they are involved. So bring your whole family and ride with them. It would be real impressive to have 20 to 30 members riding. The line up starts at 4:30 off Washington Ave. The parade starts at 6, so get there early.

TRAILS

The Breshears system is completely open and snow free. The trails held up good over the winter and are ready for your riding enjoyment.

WEBSITE

I can always use ideas as well as photos for the website. I started a photo quiz. See if you can guess where the pictures were taken. Occasionally I will post updates or important info between newsletters too. www.eoatva.org

DUES

I would like to thank everyone that has paid there dues already this year. Look on the newsletter address label for your expiration year. Dues expire at the end of June for the year listed. Most people have renewed, just a few stragglers remain.
