Attached are some photo's of the Cedars of Lebanon Triathlon that took place on Saturday, August 28.  I took pictures of all the Fogbees I knew....I know Marilyn and her daughter won their relay class.  I am also a little bit biased towards Kerrie's pictures...She won her class with a final time of 1:29:21.  I do not know Bob's time, Phil's time, or Nancy's time.  I have lot's more photo's but thought these were a good sampling...possible some for the fogbees site....Bob, Phil, Nancy, & Marilyn, if you want, I can make a photo CS for you with all the pic's I have...Just let me know...

Pictures of the Triathlon are now in our Photo Album (click here for the slide show)

Greenway Updates & CLEAN-UP

I appreciate the great encouragement from Phil on this community clean-up.  Our first clean-up will be THIS SUNDAY (8/29/10) at 1PM.  Bring flat blade shovels & brooms and meet at Sams.  Riding & hydration after wards optional.


Nashville:
Went for a greenways ride this afternoon.  All of Shelby Bottoms plus Two Rivers plus Stones River Greenways past Ravenwood up to Lebanon Road are okay (good news).  The Lebanon Road crossing including the bridge and its approaches plus the tunnel have gotten their final asphalt paving (good news).  However, about 100 yards past Kohl's parking lot a low stretch of the greenway has an inch or more of mud from the last flooding (bad news).  There were lots of bike tracks thru the mud but I know from the May flood that this is the first of several muddy stretches all the way to PP Dam.  I've heard no calls for cleanup volunteers.

Hendersonville:
We tried to ride the greenway last Wednesday and found the section north of the new Drake's Creek Bridge under water (and hope it didn't get washed out).  Sections of the greenway are still torn-up and caked with mud from the May flood.  I thought a good community project for the FOGBEES would be to get a few shovels and clean the mud from the trail (would take about an hour).  Any volunteers?  How about the FOGBEES adopt this greenway?

I have mailed a copy of our Annual Report to the many people who have helped make this first year possible.

Thanks again! Without your support none of this can happen AND we are just beginning.

Thanks to FOGBEES that Volunteered.

Dear Wonderful, Fantastic, Unselfish VOLUNTEERS, (is that enough praise to assure that you will volunteer for next year's kid's triathlon?)

THANK YOU all for a job well done! We had 50+ volunteers this year and used every one of you too. This was HEAT's Sixth year to put on the Kid's Triathlon and first year as a SELL OUT. This was our best year yet thanks in part to great people like you!

A Special Thanks to the FOGBEE'S. They volunteered at nine bike course positions! Loved seeing all those BEE jerseys on the course!

If you have any thoughts, comments or suggestions about this year's race that we can use for next year's race. Feel free to email me at spinjunkie@comcast.net.

Again, Thank you very much for giving up a few hours of your Saturday morning to help keep our kids safe!

Update on Hville greenway

The greenway is paved under the RR bridge near the soccer fields at Drakes Creek Park. The new bridge across the creek is open. However, much of the trail on both sides leading up to it is unpaved. This is a follow up to our discussion after Wed. night lite ride.

St Louis Detailed Plans

We've put a "basic" plan together for the trip on the Web Site with route maps for Saturday and Sunday.  As you plan what you want to do, please keep in mind the weather (half of the route is without shade) and the touristy stuff we will be doing on the way up.  Expect to take 4 to 5 hours getting to Grafton and then add an hour for lunch.  If you are riding back, you can probably do it in less than 3 hours (if you don't get lost or have mechanical issues).
If you still have questions, please comment and I'll try to get answers or fill-in any blanks.

THATS WHY I CALL HIM "THE POSTMAN"

Today was "barter" day for a lot of work at my house, in exchange for a hotel room in St. Louis, for Jim. This morning, as you know, there was a brutal storm and I figured Jim would not appear. There he was, drenched from his bike ride over to my home, sitting on my porch at 6:30 am. He trimmed trees, put down 9 yards of mulch and was still working when I dropped by and brought him a sandwich at lunch. My wife said she couldn't believe he showed up in this weather. My reply " That's why we call him The Postman". If you need any work done around your home send Jim an email at crowtrck5@gmail.com

ANOTHER UPDATE FOR ST. LOUIS

PLEASE RESPOND TO THE PRIOR POST AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE DOING THE LONG OR SHORT RIDE SO WE CAN SEE HOW MANY VEHICLES WE NEED TO HAVE IN GRAFTON. SHORT RIDE IS 43 AND LONG IS 86 MILES. LESS THAN HALF THE RIDERS HAVE RESPONDED.
ALSO: IT HAS BEEN DECIDED THAT IF YOU ARE DRINKING BEER AT THE FRIDAY COOKOUT IT IS BYOB. THIS WILL KEEP THE COST DOWN AND EACH PERSON CAN BRING THE BEER THEY LIKE. OTHER REFRESHMENTS WILL BE PROVIDED. THANK YOU.

H'ville Cop Stops Bicyclists on Gallatin Road

It’s been reported to me that Hendersonville Police pulled over bicyclists who were riding four-abreast down Gallatin Road.  The policeman did not issue a citation but only a warning for what he believed to be reckless behavior on the part of the cyclists.  Luckily, the cyclists, not FOGBEES, acted respectively with the officer and the incident did not become an issue.  That often is not the case.  However, as a Director and Officer of Bike Walk Tennessee, I recommend the police enforce the laws with bicyclists.

Thank you

For my first post, I wanted to thank the FOGBEES for letting me ride along this past month. It has been a real learning experience, very enjoyable and rewarding. The instructions and patience has been terrific. Of the ones that I have met so far, I think I am the OG (old guy).

UPDATE ON ST. LOUIS TRIP

There are officially 32 people going on the trip! 30 will be at the cookout. I will get you the address and phone number for Todd's this weekend.
FIRST:
THOSE WHO ARE RIDING ON SATURDAY PLEASE POST IF YOU ARE DOING THE ENTIRE 86 miles or if you are only doing 43 miles and stopping at Grafton at the lunch stop. WE MUST HAVE THIS INFO to determine how many vehicles need to be left in Grafton on Friday night so we have enough room to get you back to Collinsville after lunch.
SECOND:
Jim (postman) is working this week for a few Fogbees to earn enough money to go to St. Louis. HE NEEDS A RIDE TO AND FROM. I would be glad to take him but my wife, son and sister-in-law are riding with me and we have no room. Please consider giving Jim a ride for the trip and let me know if you can. It would be appreciated. (please note: This message has been approved by Jim C. and he is responsible for its contents. Paid for by Fogbees, Inc. , a division of Fogbees Beer and Distributing Co. , Perth, Austrialia. )

The new jersey order has arived

The Jerseys will be available on most of the rides. Please post or contact Bob G. about picking up your Jersey.
