Silver Comet Spring Ride Survey

Only 19 respondents on the Monkey so far. Please TAKE THE SURVEY - It is short!!

It is never too early to start planning a ride event. For several years we have talked about riding the Chief Ladiga and Silver Comet Trails that Run from Anniston Alabama to Atlanta Georgia. I personally have ridden the entire Silver Comet and it is a beautiful all trail ride. I am attaching a survey to this to get some initial feedback. Once you have taken the survey, please post. Please copy the link below into your browser and answer the questions.

Frozen Toes Ride on New Year's Day

Is anyone planning on riding the frozen toes ride with Joey Holland tomorrow? I believe it leaves Bethpage utility at 10:00 a.m. with a 30 mile and 44 mile option. It looks to be 35 degrees and windy.

If anyone has the route details and plans to ride, please post them.

Happy NEW YEAR

Don't share the road.

There's a time to share and and time to hog. This from the Orlando Commuter deserves a look.

Missing NewBee

Greetings All,

I hope all of the Fogbees have had a wonderful Christmas.

Just wanted to give you a quick update on where I have been... I have been dealing with various leveles of back pain. Ranging from numbness in my toes, to burning sensations in my quads, and glutes. In the end, I had a bulging disc that ruptureed, and am now scheduled for back surgery on the Dec 30th.

I am dreaming of the day that I could once again ride with the Fogbees.

See you all in the Spring!

Davidson St. RR Xing Now Safe

Riding between Shelby Bottoms and Downtown is much safer now that the Davidson Street RR crossing has been improved. The large, jagged crevices along the rails, combined with the angle of the crossing, posed a serious hazard between two popular greenways for many years. I was thrilled to see this improvement Wednesday on a ride home. Thank you Nashville, CSX, or whoever is responsible!

Blue Ridge 5 day tour

Carolina Tailwinds 5 day tour
Nicole and I were planning on a tour of the Blue Ridge parkway in 2010. We found Carolina Tailwinds Bicycle Tours and they look real interesting. This tour company would be happy to make this a Fogbees tour if we had 10 to 16 people interested on June 20-24, June 27 - July 01 or August 22-26.There website is www.carolinatailwinds.com and the trip would cost 1485.00 per person. I wanted to see if there was enough interest in general to pursue this with the company. If there is, then I would try to coordinate the date best for all. We do two or three day rides with great participation so this would be a great extension to our touring in 2010.Give me your thoughts, ideas or suggestions. Thanks Bob Miller.
