Miscellaneous biking
news from Florida: A retired Navy Admiral
was killed riding a bike in Sarasota, a
tragedy after a life of service to his
country. Another man, riding a bike on
Tamiami Trail in Port Charlotte, was
arrested for DUI. We don’t think he ever was
a Club member, but one never knows.
On a more
positive note, all the bridges are in,
across the various bays, to get us, without
detour, from Venice to Sarasota on the
Legacy Trail. Hurray Wanda Short, Gary
Bryant, and others who have “liaised” to
assist. (Like that “bon mot”?) Speaking of
Gary, he is up walking around and looking
great, following heart surgery on August 24.
Speedy recovery, Gary!
Our own
“Caruso”, Harry Radebaugh, and his bride,
Sue, were featured in the Sun recently. The
theme was physical fitness in later life.
Harry was referred to as “a Superman
Octogenarian” and Sue as “his trophy wife”.
But we all knew this already! Congrats to
both.
Those
interested can check the most recent Board
minutes on this website. Of note:
Ø
We reviewed and approved some
first class safety documents written this
summer by the safety committee. Thanks to
Jim Jones and his team. Outstanding job!
Ø
We received updates on
planning for both the Pasta Bash (Nov 19-20)
and the Holiday Fest (Dec 2). Our thanks to
Alan Deckebach and Leslie Kruger, plus a lot
of others, who have worked to support these
two great Club events.
Ø
We debated the proposal to
modify our membership system into one which
is per person and not single or family. This
proposal seemed fair and proper to our
Board. We will present this recommendation
to the Membership. The Board agreed to
assign the level of dues for 2011 to $10 per
person, which translates to $20 per family.
This will go to the Membership for approval
in November.
Ride safely,
Bob Carroll,
President CCBC |
