David/Brent,
 
Finally we have locked the dates for our trail design, maintenance, and
construction workshop.  The workshop will be on July 15-16 from 8 a.m.- 5:00
p.m. First day will be at El Paso State Parks Administrative Office located at:

 
200N Clark Dr.
El Paso, TX 79905
 
The second day will be on the field, we probably decide during the workshop,
but most likely will be at Tom Mays Unit.
 
I have reserve one or two spaces for members of BMBA.  Let me just remind you
that this is a very basic training designated for those with little experience
in trail work (some of the new staff at Franklin Mountains).  If some of the
BMBA members have taken the IMBA trail workshop, I would suggest to send the
interested parties with the less experience (but this is not required, you guys
can send whoever you like).  We will be inviting Robert Newman to the training
as his experience can be very useful during the sesions.
 
In regards, the points we discussed during the meeting last month, I have
received positive feedback in regards the bike patrol program.  We need to set
up another meeting to begin planning the program and then work on the details.
 
Let me know who will be attending the workshop, thanks,

	The summit is going well.  My brain is close to full and I have almost 15
pages of notes.  More than half of my new ideas will be related directly to
some things in the park.  In particular....how to improve the mountain biking
experience in the park for the beginner rider.  Jessie and some of the other
rangers have indicated that there have been complaints from beginners....that
will soon end.
	 
	We have a lot of work to do.  I cannot wait for the fall when the weather is
cool.

Message-ID: <5645827.1215366242605.JavaMail.www@app328>


A message from Cameron Bailey cameronpeterbailey at gmail.com.
I didn't write the part below, but its better than what I could come up with. I'm going to do a 150 mile fund raising bike ride for the National MS Society. I have a personal goal of $200.  Any donation is appreciated.  Thanks guys. . . . .
-Cameron





Every hour of every day, someone is diagnosed with MS.  That's why I registered for the MS Bike Tour, and why I'm asking you to support my fund raising efforts with a tax-deductible donation.    

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is dedicated to ending the devastating effects of MS but they can't do it without our help.  It's faster and easier than ever to support this cause that's so important to me.  Simply click on the link at the bottom of this message.  If you prefer, you can send your contribution to the address listed below.   

Any amount, great or small, helps to make a difference in the lives of people with MS.   I appreciate your support and look forward to letting you know how I do.
 
P.S. If you would like more information about the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, how proceeds from the MS Bike Tour are used, or the other ways you can get involved in the fight against MS, please visit nationalmssociety.org.

For the dirties (and even the interested roadies) out there, my
favorite weekend of races is THIS weekend at Taos Ski Valley:

     http://www.frazermountainmadness.com/

Each race counts separately toward the NMORS this season (just as
Socorro did).  The weather prediction is great, the view above
treeline at the top of Frazer Mountain is most excellent!  I get
my daily fix here:

http://www.skitaos.org/mountain/webcamimage.php

Speaking of the NMORS - once again it is my job to keep the racers
confused and antsy about the standings - with several years of
experience now, this is a job I excel at!  Thanks for your patience.
The family priorities which have kept me busy are calming down and
I have actually spent some time beginning the compilation process,
no I'm not making this up.  Several people have offered to help and
I'm reaching the point where I can profitably delegate some work
to them.   So I ain't promising 'by a certain date' - just letting
you know that I haven't forgotten or given up on it.

Tour Divide '08: done.



Woohoo! We did it. I'm very proud to be the first woman to race the entire length of the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route.?



July 13th 2008, I pulled into the Mexican Border to finish the epic journey of a lifetime, made possible with the support of so many people. I raced 2,711 miles- climbing 200,000 feet over 29 days 17 hours and 37 minutes. These numbers are pretty abstract until you see the terrain and look at a map to be able to understand it. I'm still trying to process it all myself.?




The inaugural Tour Divide started in Banff, AB, Canada June 13th at 10a.m. with 16 men, and me; the only woman. Historically, Divide racing on the border-to-border route has had a high attrition rate. This year- the first to add the Canadian leg- was no different. ?Only nine of us racers made it
 to Mexico, with almost half the field dropping for mechanical or medical reasons. The sheer brutality of this course cannot be overstated. When I started the race, I had hopes of doing it faster, but in retrospect, I am immensely satisfied to have successfully completed the entire race without having to pull out. I confronted many challenges, including:

- all-night hike-a-bike sections through snow (over fresh bear tracks)?

-lifting a 50?lb., fully loaded bike over downed trees and snags

-staying alert & aware of wildlife- bears and mountain lions were often nearby, evidenced by tracks and fresh kills?

-climbing multiple mountains in one day?

-severe leg swelling for most of the race?

-deep fatigue setting in, from almost a month of back-to-back century races!




This was unlike anything I've ever done... but I can't say I wouldn't do it again.
 ?:)




I want to say thanks to all of my sponsors. I had some of the nicest gear out there- thanks to these guys:




Stans NoTubes?- I love my race wheels and other components you guys have helped me with.?

Kenda?- Thanks to Jim for getting tires to me in Canada.

Siren Bicycles?- My Song 29 was purpose-built for racing the Continental Divide and performed flawlessly

GoreBikeWear?- These clothes got quite a workout, and I was well
 prepared for the mountain weather.

SRAM?- The Reba 29 was wonderful, and I never had to adjust my shifting at all (OVER ALMOST 3,000 MILES)

Smartwool?- they are sponsoring the forthcoming film documentary, and sent me some great clothes for the race


The Path?- thanks for the package of goods to Grants!


Syntace

Giro




I will be publishing a day-by-day write up. Until then, photos are up on Picasa: http://picasaweb.google.com/sirenmary/tourdivide08




This was the ride of a lifetime and the memories will forever stay with me. I know that I've grown because of this experience and am forever grateful. Thanks for all your support and contributions to the effort.




Mary




P.S. As many of you know, there was a film crew following me and they are hoping to have a film out in the Spring documenting the race and there's also a possibility of a 3 part series. Until then, here are links to the producers sites. Should be some good footage.?

Thanks to the Pattison's for a great weekend where the only event

simply moved indoors for a little while, then back out to continue
the $1 beers from Santa Fe Brewing and entertainment from Christof

Hi Guys,


?


The Squash Blossom board of directors had to make? difficult decision. Because our city funding was cut by 75%, we are not able to pull off the Squash Blossom Omnium events this year. This includes all three Omnium events-the Time Trial, Criterium and Road Race. We are also canceling the Festival due to funding problems. We are still going to do the Screamer and two running events.





?


Could you guys help me notify folks? Next week I'll send out an email to all of our past registrants. I need something sent to the NMRS mailing list and the online calendar updated. 


?


I appreciate it.


?
