Think you may want to ride West Magnolia 3 times over the summer? It's not too late to volunteer for the Boulder Mountain Bike Patrol and do some good while cruising the shady, cool singletracks near Nederland. Remember it's going to get H.O.T down in Boulder soon enough! We'll be training with the Forest Service May 15th and 17th (volunteers only need to attend one session) from 5:30-7:30 if you are interested. Drop me a line for more info or to sign up for one of the training dates...pizza provided! -Matthew www.moalford@hotmail.com

Wednesday night ride takes no prisoners!



Swiftie Steve Gabbard wonders what he's getting himself into as the Wed night ride heads out into the sleety rain. Former Swifties Rose Alford and Sean Steeves join in as well and the weather clears up just in time to rip it up on swoopy singletrack, pop over slimy logs and ford raging creeks en route to Illegal Pete's for tasty smothered burritos. Hurts so good!

Swifties! The Wednesday mtb night ride series launched last night with a stirring tour of the Wanker Loop and future efforts will include Heil, Marshall, Santa Cruz, Green Mtn, West Magnolia, etc. as the days get longer. We meet at 6pm in front of Illegal Pete's Downtown (15th & Pearl) most weeks and feast there afterwards if you're into that sort of thing. No lights needed (ha!), bring clear glasses, lid, shark-repellant, beer money and an unquenchable thirst for adventure. Singlespeeds also usually appropriate, as are light sabers, a pirate drawl, nun habit and/or pet monkey. Contact me (moalford@hotmail.com) for more info and hope to see you out there! Matthew
