  Mountain Biking News by Judd Meyers

We have been riding over at Barkley State Resort several weekends lately.  We have been putting in a few easy down hill sections.  They are nothing like Red Bull Rampage and I don't think we  will be making any big hit, mountain bike videos.  We are however, "having fun."


Steve Becket and Steve Wilson went out and RAN the loop (1-21-6) with our trusty rakes and cleaned out all the wet leaves in the bad spots.  I think they did it just in the knick of time, with another inch of rain Sunday.  3:45?? worth of above average H/R.  I think anyone wanting a cross-training day should give this a try.


Spinning has been very slow with all the good weather.  There have been several of us ride at night at least once a week since the New Year.  Everyday that is nice gets us one day closer to spring.  Also there is the new gym in Draffenville "Mega Gym" very nice place.  There are several of us going there and spinning on Mon. nights at 7pm.  Steve Wilson has made several trips to the chiropractor in the recent months but after starting back to the gym after the New Year, He's like a new person or his old self.  He encourages anyone feeling stale and just not feeling good about their body to make a few trips to their local gym.
 
It looks like the Tater trot and Tour De Tater will be 4-1-06 and then the White Lightning Mountai8n bike race will be 4-2-06.  Anyone wanting to help with either event can call Wood-N-Wave 270-362-2453 and Steve will put your name on a list.
 

 

Wood-N-Wave has a new multi-sport team going this year.  They have gotten a few local money sponsors and a few bike sponsors to help out also.  Team W-N-W would like to co-sponsor the WL race with CRCC.  This would help the team raise a few more dollars for the race season.  We have about 45 riders from beginners to pro.  These team members will compete in Road, Mtn, Tri's, century's and marathons.  At the next club meeting a few members will ask if the co-sponsorship is something we can do to make the race better and distribute the work load of all the race duties.  Steve would hope that this would also strengthen CRCC membership and bring more of the multi-crowd to the club for training and competing in these events.

 

Alan Brown is getting better all the time and will be on the mountain bike before long. He has already been spinning the last couple of weeks.
