Great group rides

Shasta Bikers,
Kudos to everybody who came out for our first group rides last week!
A small turnout shuttled Red Fir on Wednesday, then on Thursday we had 15 riders, with a group pedaling up the Tunnel trail and a group shuttling from Sand Flat and 8 mile. Thanks to Jason Allen and Rick Poore for providing shuttle vehicles, even though they didn't ride. It was great to see you all there!

We're changing the format this coming week to see if it works out better. We'll ride on Monday and Thursday evenings, meeting at 6:30pm (so the shop techs can make it) at the MS high school parking lot. Make sure you come fully prepped - we had a flat tire on Thursday night (thankfully the rider had a kit).

We're working on putting together a trail maintenance effort to work on the Bear Springs Trail (also called the Old Steam Donkey Trail) so we can spread out to other trails. Our next meeting is Thursday, June 19th at 6:30pm at Shastice Park near the tennis courts. We'll talk about trail maintenance and share information at that time. We're also looking for info from any of the riders who have been around a long time who might remember trails that have been forgotten and neglected and need to be cleaned up. So ask around, and lets see if we can find some trails to restore.
We'd love to have some pics and video for the blog, so email it to me if you've got it.
We'll see you out there!
Renee
