It’s that time again, The Special Olympics are coming and the Winter Games will be happening at Mountain Creek February 2nd and 3rd 2010. It is a great time to give back to the community and help these kids and adults. Both myself and Eric Strand have been volunteering for this event for the past 4 years and find it very gratifying when you see your athlete collect his/her medal on the podium. The event needs volunteers for all positions for 1 or both days, whatever you can give. The application is attached. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any meeting. Please come out and support this event.

Thank You, Roy Spierer

Mayhem @ Mahlon

Rookie Mt. Bike Ride at Mahlon Dickerson Reservation – Saffin Pond Parking Lot – Jefferson Twp. NJ

May 22^nd 2010 – 9AM

Chuck Emery & Robin Hiner will be a leading this ride. The loop will be designed to give folks who always wondered what this sport is about a decent taste of Mt. biking. We’ll start on a flat fire road for about a mile (good warm-up). From there the ride will be on rocky double tracks and twisty single tracks with a fair amount of climbs and downhill runs. We’ll slowly graduate the difficulty of the trails with about three bailout points, as people get tired. For experienced riders, this loop would be about 1.25 hours. With rest stops, riding a slower pace and keeping the group together, it’ll probably take about twice that.

There are only a few rules –

1)      You must wear a helmet & bike gloves.

2)      You must ride a Mt. Bike. Hybrids won’t be able to handle these trails. We’ll try to come up with some extra bikes from friends of ours.

3)      You must bring water or a sports drink, a couple energy bars and a spare tube.

That’s about it. Some of our friends will join us so there will be enough experienced riders to help. If the group starts forming into A&B riders, we can split up so everyone has fun at their own level.

This is a great chance to have a goal for a winter workout plan. You’ll want to work mostly on cardio. Being fit is a key ingredient to having fun on the bike.

Only one word of caution – Although we’ll do everything to keep you safe, Mt. Biking, like any extreme sport, bears the potential of getting hurt. Falling onto a rocky surface is part of the sport. You take this ride at your own risk!
