<![CDATA[BUMP - Latest Forum Posts]]> 7093 <![CDATA[Mootsrider <i>3/07/2010 9:34 PM</i> <br> - WE NOW HAVE A LAKE TRAIL TO RIDE]]> I'm exhausted but happy because the LAKE SINGLE TRACK TRAIL is nearly complete and open to all riders for their enjoyment.  BUMP not only met its goal of building 2 miles of well constructed single-track in 2 days but roughed in 1.5 miles additional trail on the future multi-use trail as a temporary return trail and built two bridges.  We had over 70 volunteers on Saturday and over 40 today.  It was alot of hard work but well worth it.  I'm proud of the everyone's willingness to sacrifice personal time on what was a nice weekend to create something that will be enjoyed by so many for years to come. It was something to behold to see how well organize and efficient the two days went.  Congrates to all volunteers and BUMP for a job well done. 

I would also like to thank Stacey, Lisa and  Mary for organizing the event and making sure we were well fed. Thanks to all the trail leaders: Frank, Doug, Mike, Mark M., Jim, Corbin, Dee, Chris, Richard, Kevin.  In addition to Lisa and Mary, Teresa Gable who helped out soo much.  Jenny Camp, Laural Wierenga, and Kim Cross also helped out a lot. Thanks to Cahaba Cycle for their participation and donation of prizes.  In addition to the other sponsors, the next time you're looking for lunch, choose to eat at Chick-Fil-A on hwy 119 in Pelham and tell Barbara thank you for contributing the volunteer lunch on Saturday.  Thanks to Oak Mtn for the donation of  yearly passes. Thanks to Shelby and Pelham for constructing a portion of trail prior to this weekend, they laid the foundation that allowed us to be so successfull this weekend.              Sincerely, Mark Richman.

If you want to reserve your spot, or if you have any questions about the trip, email me by clicking on the envelope on the left side of this post.

So Matt is coming back..He's off the list for "Whatever happened to..?".  I guess next up is Alan Ellis.  Anyone seen or heard from Alan?

Jim, thanks for the support.

Mark, I may get a road bike to stay in shape, I wont be tempted to do stupid things on it....(maybe).. If I can just keep from being run over by a car.

Brain, don't tease...lol.. I took off the stock pedals and put on blue candys
