A few more hours are
needed for trail cleanup in Denver.
There has been trouble
with ATV’s on the trail (from Peru to Denver), a landowner shot at a tire on
an ATV. Richard said, “ we will
watch this situation and area, and we are working on ways to block ATV’s from
using the trail.”

Website
Report:
Mike Kuepper is trying to
talk Dave Sutton into joining the bike club and managing the web site.
New
business:
Bill Click brought up the
idea of a club ride in Xenia, Ohio on the trail. He said he would put it in the newsletter and ask for
feedback. July
would be a good month for this ride. We
will discuss this at a later time, after the newsletter is sent.
Bill Click brought up for discussion the weekly ride schedule.
It was discussed that we drop the weeknight scheduled ride as far as set
rides, instead designate a time and place to meet.
Whoever shows up can ride together.
It was suggested that Miami’s Fort would be a good meeting place for
this. Bill will put this in the newsletter and we will discuss this
at next month’s meeting. Saturday
and Sunday rides will stay the same.
Adjournment:
Mike Kuepper made a motion to adjourn, with Ernie Strawn following.
