Blackstone Valley Chapter News

December 2007, SingleTracks

What a season we've had here in the Blackstone Valley (and I know it's not over yet for a lot of us). We've hosted rides throughout the season on Wednesday nights that were very popular. We've held trail care events every Tuesday night at Vietnam and helped the rangers at Hodges Village Dam to rehabilitate some trails that suffered during recent logging operations in the park. By the time this issue is in your hands we'll have held our volunteer appreciation barbecue and ride to thank all of the people that came out to lend a hand at one of our trail care events this year. If you'd like an invitation next year, be sure to attend one of our many trail care events throughout the season. We will be having another chapter meeting around the beginning of the year to begin planning for next season so keep an eye on our chapter website (http://www.bvnemba.org) for details. I'd like to thank everyone once more who came out for a ride or to a trail care event. It's your participation that makes our events successful and I've enjoyed riding and working with all of you. Now, mount up those studded tires, give the bike a quick tune and get ready for some fun winter riding. —Eammon Carleton
