2010 Officers: The officers for 2010 have been voted in, and are listed below. We wish them the best of luck in the coming year, and hope that the club can have it's best year yet!
Chairman - Patrick Wilson
Treasurer - Ken Hacka

Blazing Saddles Century: It was a very successful first event in 2007 and has continued to be throughout 2009. We were able to put up 20 signs in Troup County and have been working with Heard County to do the same. We were also able to donate to the Heard County High School that hosted the first events, the Heard County Middle School and to the LaGrange Area Radio Club (LARC) that supported us on the route. So, we've decided to do it again this year! It will be July 31st, 2010. It will again be hot, hilly and with the same 4 different mileage options beginning in Franklin, Georgia and crossing over into Alabama, covering at least 3 different counties. It features, aside from the heat and hills, great roads, wonderful vistas and very friendly folks. So make room on your calendar for this challenge, and help to make our local roads safer for cyclists! More information can be found here.
Events Calendar: We now have a google calendar set up whereby you can find out what's going on and when. See the tab at left and check it out, or click here email us and we'll get it added for you.
Discussion Group: In an attempt to give us a better medium for discussion on various subjects I have opened up a google group. You can read the discussions without joining, or you can join and add your own comments. Go to the Discussion Group page and click on its link to go directly to the forum.
Bicycle Maintenance Information: Chris Cosby, a former Dirt Rag magazine employee, has recently moved to West Point, GA. He used to teach a bicycle maintenance course and has kindly supplied his course outline so that we could become better acquainted with the maintenance of our beloved machines. Click here to read. Additionally, I've found a nifty web page that has a lot of great tips ranging from tire pressure to picking up a dropped chain without ever getting off the bike (or stopping). Check it out at http://www.jimlangley.net/crank/basicstuff.html
Trail Riding at West Point Lake Dam: In addition to being the 2010 club treasurer, Ken Hacka is our trail guy. He has worked hard to establish a wonderful trail at the West Point Lake Dam. He can be contacted for more information at sorba.cva@sorba.org. Thanks to his hard work, a beginner-level and intermediate-level trail has been installed.
