Meeting Recap--August 23, 2014

Five riders (Bob K., Scott, Richard, and both Bob S.s) deferred their chores and braved the heat (temperature and wifely) to join today's meeting. Bravo!

After a Baloney Shop rerun "honoring" Darwin they had a lengthy and lively discussion about evolution and eugenics. Then they moved on to discuss the possibility of combining a ride to Lula with a couple hours of zip lining at North Georgia Canopy Tours. There was a lot of interest in getting this scheduled for September 13th and sending a Read Now notice out to all members to get a commitment and tie down the date and time.

They had a chance to learn from the videoed mistakes of other riders, particularly as it pertains to low siding with low traction "dirt" tires, ignoring wet white lines and riding with cold tires. Captain Crash also had some advice on riding in the wind.

They had fun watching a couple other videos that will be linked in an e-mail announcing this recap, and one video avoided by those with acrophobia.

Another point of discussion was interest in a Friday/Saturday ride and camp on October 17th and 18th, either to T.W.O. or Tellico Plains. Give it some thought and let it be known if you are interested.
