Sunday Hill Ride

On Sunday we will go to Zanesfield to ride the hills. Need to get ready for the Hilly Hundred. We will muster at Joes at 1:00 and leave from there (drive) up to Goshen Friends Church, and ride some hills. Perhaps 30 to 35 miles.  http://video.bicycling.com/video/Improve-Your-Skills-Accelerate

We won! Federal support for bicycling is preserved

Dear CCR, The U.S. Senate affirmed its time-tested support of bicycling Thursday by forcing Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma to withdraw his proposal to eliminate dedicated funding for the Transportation Enhancements program. Peopleforbikes.org supporters and our advocacy partners influenced this outcome by sending close to 50,000 emails and making thousands of phone calls to their U.S. Senators in just 48 hours. Thank you! As a result, funding for all federal transportation programs has now been extended to March 31, 2012. The key, cost-effective programs that make bicycling safer and easier -- Transportation Enhancements, Safe Routes to School, and Recreational Trails -- will continue to receive modest, dedicated support -- about 1.5 percent of the total federal transportation investment. Every U.S. Senate office received an unprecedented number of well-crafted emails and articulate phone calls this week from people who bike. This powerful show of support for bicycling made a strong impression on Congress and influenced the positive outcome. We reminded the Senate that bicycling investments support a growing number of transportation trips coast to coast, and save government agencies money on road repairs, parking infrastructure costs, and health-care costs. They recognize that this is a small investment with a big payback that makes Americans safer. A huge thanks to the thousands of Americans, our supporters, who rallied quickly to contact their elected officials on this challenge. We will continue to keep you posted on key issues and opportunities that affect the future of bicycling in the United States. I hope you'll join me in taking a ride this weekend to celebrate!

Saturday Morn!!!!!!! You GO!!

OK people, Saturday morning ,put ir right here!7AM Lot's of folks going different directions,and thats great but you got to be here to get started,soooooo, let's do it!!!

Dear CCR,

Federal funding for bicycling is under serious attack. Today or tomorrow, Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma will introduce an amendment to eliminate dedicated funding for Transportation Enhancements, which is the main source of funding for bike projects of all types.

We need you to take action today by emailing your U.S. Senators to urge them to oppose and defeat Mr. Coburn's amendment.

If Senator Coburn's amendment succeeds, bicycling in the U.S. will become less safe and more difficult. Twenty years of consistent, cost-effective investment in beneficial bike projects will stop.

When we launched peopleforbikes.org, we promised you that we would only ask for your help when we really needed it.

This is one of those times.

We need every U.S. Senator to hear from hundreds, if not thousands, of their constituents who value government support for bicycling. A strong vote against Coburn's amendment will be a convincing statement of how much Congress and Americans value bicycling, and will influence all future votes on bike and pedestrian programs and funding.

Please email your U.S. Senators today and tell them to oppose Coburn's amendment and preserve funding for bicycling. 

(You can find your Senators, review basic suggested text for your email, and send your note directly from this link.)

Thanks for your support and your quick response to this call to action.

Tim Blumenthal
Director, Peopleforbikes.org

What it is? what it could be??

Event Announcement:
From Richard Meyers, Xenia, Ohio (race promoter)
Human Powered Race America, Ohio race, October 8 & 9, 2011.

Rich says:
... "Oct 8 & 9 Springfield Fair Grounds Sunday morning we have a short course set up for trikes and I think it would be ideal for KB. The schedule is not set yet but will be published in a few days. We also have long track racing with separate classes for fared and unfared racers. Straight line sprints with electronic timing traps. We probably will give the KB a first time entry fee of $10 which covers our insurance. We do require mirrors so you can see behind you. Here is our site and you can find some pictures of the 2010 Springfield race under Race Results http://wisil.recumbents.com/wisil/main.asp"

So, mount the required mirrors and start the kicking.
