Shannon's Ironman Experience & Yet More Trail Building

First, Thursday COP ride leader Shannon recently participated n the Miami Ironman and posted a very entertaining report on his blog, which you can reach at this link:

Secondly, John Gorrilla sent out the below, regarding another trail building day. Look, come out not because you own a mountain bike and may use the trail, come out because we are part of a cycling community and some of our fellow cyclists need our help.  Or, come out because the trail will make a great trail running route or a great cross country skiing route or come out for the great fun!

The work last Sunday was outstanding and exceeded all expectations for what we thought we were going to be able to accomplish.  Thank you very much to everyone who was able to join us.  Many hands truly does make light work, well
lighter work anyway.
 
What have you done for me lately?  Thanking you and now asking you to come back and do it again, that's right, I'm shameless.
 
On December 9th at 10:00 we will be gathering again to blaze more trail starting where we left off last time.  I don't think I can guarantee as nice  of weather as last Sunday, but you never know.  I will bring some delicious PBR again if that gets people out.
 
Details will be sent out several days before the event, but I just wanted to get on people's calendars early.  Please invite others and pass their contact information on to me if they're interested.  I'm keeping track of people who volunteer and the hours we work for posterity.
