BIKE PATROL - NEWS

Written by Webmaster
The OMBA National Mountain Bike Patrol training held on Saturday, January 30, 2010 at Taylor College was a great success! We had a total of 27 people in the class, taught by OMBA President Tim Mulhall and Vice-President Rob Ern. Of the 27, 9 were patrollers who were re-certified in CPR and First Aid. The remaining 18 are new patrollers! Thanks to everyone who came to be certified, adding to the already great ranks of the OMBA Bike Patrol! Look for these new faces on the trails, and be sure to say hello to these dedicated volunteers!

TRAIL DAY RESULTS - THANK YOU TO THOSE THAT HELPED!

Written by Rob Ern

Many thanks to the 9 volunteers who braved the cold rain Saturday for the betterment of our trails! Despite the weather, we had a great work day, sponsored by Gone Riding Race Promotions . We had a small crew working on preparing the race course for the upcoming Florida State Championship Series final race at Santos on December 13th. The rest of the crew continued working on the new CR484 to SR200 trail extension. Even with the small turnout, we were able to completely finish the chainsaw, trimming and mowing of the new corridor all the way to the end, as well as a small portion of the raking.

However, there still remains raking to be done, and that will likely be some of the focus for the January work day. The trail is rideable, however, so if you are out on the west end of the system, feel free to get some tires on the new dirt! It'll be soft, but fun!

Look forward to seeing OMBA represented at the race on the 13th. Remember, if you can volunteer to marshall the course, or help sell sme OMBA swag, please email me, or just show up at 8 am on the 13th!
Thanks,

Rob Ern, VP

The city of Tavares invited OMBA to do a *Bike Rodeo* last Saturday (May 2), during their annual Trains, Planes and BBQ event. It was a lot of fun, and a great time was had by all. Click on any picture to go to the Flickr photo album.
