Good luck guys and girls!!!!!

SPECIAL RECOGNITION
Our mountain biking community is very active and they seem to be having a lot of fun!  These fellow and gals travel hither and fro biking our marvelous woodland trails. Some of them are even biking at night out at Laurel Lake with head lights. These folks might not digest open, smooth, asphalted road as fast as some of our road bikers, but get on the trail with even the least of them will be the best you ever saw! 

We are gifted to have many accomplished MT Bikers in our club, but I heard something recently that really caught my attention. Mr. Dale Coffee, a dentist in Somerset, spends his summers water skiing.  After a season of water, Dale keeps himself fit and busy mountain biking and apparently, he keeps the Buffalo Loop down at Natural Arch open and ready for bikers.

These folks have been trying to get me out on a MT bike ride for a long time now.  Kevin Aker, Brad Hewlett, Marc Travis, Brad Herrman, Charles Senters, Trent Pool and many others - all hard core mountain bikers have come out and gotten involved with our road activities... Us road bikers ought to be so brave.

JT PHYSICAL ABSENTS
I will be leaving Somerset on Thursday, December 6 and will not return for four weeks.  I will Blog from time to time, but please rely upon each other for ride notifications just in case I don't get the chance to post information.

Happy Holidays everybody!!!!!!
