2017 HEAT Kids Triathlon

     We are still looking for at least 30 more volunteers for this year's event on August 5th (Saturday) at the Sumner County YMCA.  

     If you have already registered as a volunteer, thank you so much, we really do appreciate your help.  If you have not as yet volunteered, please consider doing so. Send me an email heatkidstriathlon@gmail.com. (Please include your T Shirt size. We have to lock down the sizes by Monday).  The event is non-profit and the cause we are supporting this year is ABLEYouth.  

     The kids love this event, and we have a great entry so far.  We need to ensure that the kids have fun and stay safe.  

Thank you so much

Two upcoming FOGBEE Events for your Calendar

Saturday, July 22nd we are doing our joint ride with Harpeth River Club.  Miley is putting together several routes, one of which that will go up in to KY.  We will start the rides from White House.

Monday, August 21st we will have a Solar Eclipse Ride that will start and end at my mother in laws house on Tyree Springs in White House where we had the tailgate party last year.  We will ride in the morning and be back in time to have some food and drink and watch the eclipse.  Watch for further details. We should have plenty of glasses to watch the eclipse.  Brain Baisel is providing us 25 and I have another 20 coming from Amazon.

Natchez Trace Incident

      By now everyone has seen the Go-Pro video of the bicyclist being hit on the Natchez Trace Parkway. Everyone familiar with TN Traffic Laws says the bicyclist was LEGALLY "in the right." Frequently, victims of road rage are only exercising their legal rights.  
     However, the video also suggests that the bicyclist was in violation of good sense and basic courtesy.  It would have saved the bicyclist a lot of pain and time to have simply moved over as far to the right as practical (another TN Traffic statute) and given the motorist plenty of room to pass.

Yakima Roof Carrier

If anyone could use a Bike rooftop carrier that fits Yakima round or Thule Square cross bars, I have one.  It is the copperhead model. It has a locking skewer.

I also have a pair of 78" bars with the towers and attachments that fit an older Ford Explorer. (I doubt anyone can use the base attachments, but there ya go. The long bars are big enough to carry two canoes.

If interested let me know via this blog or you have my contact info on the Fogbee membership page.

Thanks,

Tom Benim
