Dungeon Ramblings

Rider's Cycles now has a huge presence in the South Island Mountain Bike Society (SIMBS).

Shayne, Mitch, and I managed to get ourselves elected to the board of directors. Shayne is the Treasure while Mitch and I are directors at large. Our first meeting was this Tuesday. We got to know the other directors, discuss upcoming SIMBS events, and brain storm ideas of how to spend our member's money. SIMBS will be holding a screening on March 26 at the Victoria Events Center of the latest DVD in the New World Disorder series:

NWD 9 “Never Enough”

The event will be free for SIMBS members or $20 (the cost of a membership) for the general public.

SIMBS is also looking for spaces around town to build small beginner technical training areas. We would like to build parks where kids can have fun and learn the basic skills so that they can feel more confident riding at Hartland. We are looking for public land but preferably not CRD land. If anyone knows of a great spot please post it in the comments below.

Trail maintenance this month will be on Sunday the 15^th. Please contact Chris before 9:00 a.m. Friday the 13^th if you would like a free a sandwich lunch after putting in a few hours of hard labour.

Rider's Cycles just received the latest version of the Hartland Mountain Bike Trails map. It is now water proof and has been tested to survive going through a wash with your cloths. There are a few new trails and the map has been updated to remove sections of land that are not within the park.
