The Derby party, May 2-4 will be a camping weekend at Reed Rd. Jack will get the burgers and buns which will be provided by the club. Polly will bring a TV. It will be a potluck. Guests are welcome.
Jack asked if there was any interest in sponsoring members to attend a first-aid class.
A trail cleanup in OO was discussed. It would need to be on a weekday evening, along roads and trails that we ride. Members were receptive. The path between the Rider Center and 64, which is MSF, is getting very overgrown. Jack will check with MSF about clearing.
