The Past and Future

"Traditions are group efforts to keep the unexpected from happening." Barbara Tober

Well, have to say we broke from tradition. NEMBAfest was held for the first time at Bear Brook State Park on October 4th....and it was a great success! There were about 30 vendors, 350+ riders, and lots of fun to be had! Chuck Webster, the local GT rep, was there with the 2010 demo bikes. After the riding, I spent time talking with him about the bikes and even rode the Zaskar.....nice bike, but I still prefer the Marathon. I think this will become an annual event, at least for a few years.

This weekend we will be installing 3 bridges in Bear Brook at part of a Recreational Trails Program grant that I applied for. This grant uses federal dollars to help build and repair trails. These 3 bridges are located on a beautiful trail around a pond by the campground and have fallen into disrepair. The hard part is going to be carrying all that lumber into the site.....about 1/2 mile on trail!

Hoping we get lots of volunteers and have a fun ride and BBQ afterwards!
