January 12th, 2012 Club minutes.
Members present were John, Chad, Quinn, Holly, Steve W, Steve M, Ron, Brent.
John Stavros updated the club on his work with the St. George based Dixie Mountain Bike Trails Association. DMBTA is a trail advocacy organization started by Cimarron Chacon. John was asked by Cimarron to join the association’s board of directors as the CCCC’s representative. Below are the Organization’s goals:
-work collaterally with government and private entities and other trail organizations
-achieve a world class trail network that provides opportunities for all abilities, interests, and skill levels
-assist in the planning, design, and construction of new trails and trail opportunities in the area
assist in maintaining current and future trails infrastructure, including preserving the trail objectives for which each trail was created
-educate current and future mountain bikers and other trails users on proper etiquette and trail sustainability
-provide the opportunity for community ownership in the trails system, including adopt-a-trail programs, scout and church projects, and other volunteer opportunities
The hope is that CCCC and it’s members will help with both the organization’s trail advocacy goals and upcoming trail maintenance, and hopefully new trail construction. John suggested that the club make a donation to DMBTA, and the members present voted to donate 1000.00 to this organization. Half of this money was actually donated to the club by Cimarron 3 years ago to be used for work on the Little Creek Mesa trails.
Upcoming club rides were also planned and will be added to the club’s calendar. Below is a list of some of these bike rides. Since only one road rider was present at the meeting the road riding schedule will have to come later-
Feb 18-The JEM
March 24- Gander Trail
April 27,28- Little Creek Campout
July 13,14-Navajo Lake Campout
August 24,25-Rainbow Rim Campout
I like these upcoming camp-out options. That should be fun! Our little family will plan on attending at least one of them, if not all three. Thanks guys for your efforts. Sorry I’m not much help right now (to everything there is a season…right?) but know I appreciate those of you who are still in there making things happen!
