HAPPY NEW YEAR!

OK, next holiday: Are any of you interested in bicycling in the St Patrick's Day Parade this year? I need to know, like, NOW, because the application deadline is the 10th of THIS MONTH.

Then later this summer:
[Sorry, Matt! I'm lifting this almost verbatim from your notification] you have the opportunity to register for Bike MS Pedal to the Point 2009 at the special registration fee of $20. This reduced rate will only be available until January 31, 2009. After that date, you will have to pay the full registration fee of $45. Team Captains - be sure to get your team members from the 2008 ride registered before the fee increases. [I am a team captain, and I'm trying to get my team members registered before the fee increases! ONLY 25 DAYS LEFT!]
You can register online, mail in a downloaded registration form or call the office at 800-667-7131. If you register online, be sure to use the coupon code RIDER to get the $20 fee.
Bike MS Pedal to the Point 2009 will take place August 15 - 16, 2009. The start/finish location is Polaris Career Center which is just down the road from the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds. The lunch and overnight locations will remain the same.
Registered so far: Lisa Alexander, Don Bales, Sam Bell, Rebecca, Rick, Kris Sinnenberg, and Gordon Wean.

But right now, after you register, check this out: rails-to-trails conservancy is lobbying the new congress to include bicycle and pedestrian projects in the economic stimulus infrastructure thingy. For more accurate verbage, details, and/or to sign the petition, follow this link: http://support.railstotrails.org/recovery. Please don't let my cursory treatment erode your support for this important effort. Do check it out. (Thanks, Deb, for pointing this out to me.)
