not really a turnout for the "meeting" but it's cool. Ryon and Chris came out for a bit and chilled in the pub and we watched Props Road Fools 16..
I think I'll schedule a "movie night" every so often for bike related videos....
Kranked Revolution is now out and Road Fools 17 should be out soon....

I've bought 2 bike from Craigslist Evansville in the past 2 months.... Can find some good deals so keep your eyes peeled. I picked up a Dahon Boardwalk folding bike, and a Redline 48 spoke DJ. The redline is getting lots of replacements.... If you'd like to have someone go with you if you ever check out a cragslist bike- I provide security for free and have the 911 hookup.

This thread is for general bike/ non bike related meets..... Why not make lasting friendships? Life is short so make the best of it with people who are totally cool

lol- that is a good name for a band....
you know I keep forgetting that the ning site is the main page.. and you've got the trail links there.... does it need to be on the forum? Maybe.... It'd be a nice 1 stop shop for maps and all things discussion.

Tim- I do hope that you will allow some elements of BMX into the site, as I was hoping that the forum can be the dugout for discussion regarding Bike Park.... The bmx (both race and more so the street/dirt jump guys) community young and old are a vital part of the concept. It'll only stengthen your site.. yes? Please allow just a mini bitti bit of BMX?! Imagine your youngest asking you for cake.... Pweeze dad let me have just a bit of cake?! Same concept. Only I have a beard and like single malt scotch.

Trail conditions for Angel Mounds as of 6.7.9 THANKS NATHAN!!!Green = good to go Yellow = questionable but passable Red = still wet or overgrown The squiggly line toward the bottom is what we though was going to be a short connector trail but it turned out to be a long slog through trail that hasn't been cleared in YEARS. We got it re-opened but the ground is really soft and the trailbed is non-existant in many places. We were basically just playing connect the dots with the marker ribbons, when we could see them.

From Daniel : Any other suggestions on how we can bring more local riders to the site?
I've got 4 from Greyville IL, but they don't have I net. That's about to change tho... I'll have all the 4 of the EMA bike team folk join up, and if I ever get the damn kiosk roof up at Harmonie I'll be sure to get flyers up out there too.

Tim- can you put the Where We Ride, Trail Conditions, Trail Work sections all right next to each other? Also grouped can you add a Trail Maps thread?
Either Trail Maps> each local area trail topic with map pic in each
or Trail Maps> 1 topic with links to the particular trail map
I thought this might assist with navigation and dissemination of information

oops. I put BMX into the Where we Ride section, at least BMX racing at Burdette...... I figured that if a BMX'er wanted to post in the Where we ride, the Evansville/ Vanderburgh other spot would be ok... If this is not appropriate just delete it. also- I added threads to the topics... I'm not trying to hi jack the site, just wanted to help out in organizing. Hope it's ok Tim. -Kyle

Yeah I know- BMX is not MTB, but don't forget that the BMX folks have similar interests and love the dirt just like we do! This thread is for updates or notifications about Burdette BMX Race Track, such as general schedules and if you happen to go out to practice or race.
