January 8, 2008 Club Minutes by Diane H
President Kevin F called the meeting to order. Thirteen members were
present. New officers for year 2008 are as follows:
President, Andy C
Vice President, Todd
Treasurer, Paul
Secretary, Diane
LAB membership and insurance are due soon. Our finances are running a bit
short right now so if you can pay your dues now it would be much
appreciated. Mike sent out an email with the link to the MABC membership
application. Drop it off along with your dues to Paul at The Bike Shed.
Dues are $10.00 for individuals and $15.00 for families.
Our Super Bowl ride will be Sunday, February 3rd starting at 1:00 p.m.
Our Frigid 50 ride will be March 9th starting at 1:00 p.m. from The Bike
Shed weather permitting. There may be goodies provided after these rides:)
Tuesday night rides will start March 11th leaving from the MONA parking
lot. I believe they will be the same times as last year. Watch your email
for details on the time.
The Grand Fondo ride will not be held this year. We were losing money so it
was decided we will have a club ride with food later on this year. More
info will follow regarding this ride.
The annual mecca to Moab, Utah will be May 12 - 18th. If you are interested
in going, talk to Mike, Todd, or Andrew. This has become an annual MABC
trip. It's usually great weather that time of year and it's awesome
mountain biking as well as road biking.
Todd is checking on companies to do another club jersey this year. If
anyone has input on colors or etc. let him know. The price will be around
$50.00 or so.
Meeting was adjourned by President, Andy.

I have not done this for awhile, but since I broke my Tarmac and my hand, I have some time.
This trip to Moab/Fruita was the best for riding. Ended up with over 330 miles in five days.
Here are a few pics. (I do not take many pic, because I rather be riding)

MABC Blogging Plan
The purpose of this blog is to inform MABC members and Nebraska/Kansas cyclists of events of the club and surrounding cyclists. I will be posting an active calendar of upcoming rides/events, reports of recent activities, meeting minutes and ideas/plans for the club. I am hoping this site will connect the club members and other local cyclist, as the cycle sport forum and Lincoln/Omaha blogs.

Trainer Day
Cold and damp day makes me hate my trainer and sit at my computer, dreaming of a new bike and Moab/Fruita.
Andrew looks Happy, but
In 145 days my wife will be done with Nursing School. She told me and Paul is a witness, that I could buy a new bike when she is done. I am debating of buying the tricross expert or getting the tricross frame and using the components from my Allez,
