[bdee]

Hi - this is super last minute, I just found out now.

We are having our first meeting of the new year tomorrow night at Mark's Grill at 7:00 (in the plaza right near Big River). PM or email for directions if you are interested in attending and need info. The meeting is open to anyone who wants to attend - we will be discussing Lincoln Woods trail work, Big River, and event planning. The meeting will most likely last about 2 hours. Hope to see some new folks!
Thanks,
Brendan

Well after the power hour we discovered that Peter could in fact drink 12 beers in one hour! Glad that was resolved ;D

Seriously we decided against a Harpoon Event at LWoods for a bunch of reasons (PM me for the details). We will be working toward planning a bunch of trail projects at LW this Spring. We will be holding a fun ride in May (date tbd) in Arcadia. We moved forward on the website. We also are looking into Snake Den SP in Johnston (seems the state is looking to utilize the park more and is looking for input - per recent articles in the Prov Journal). We discussed Big River -things are still up in the air there but Tina is going to keep us up to speed. We also talked about running a regular ride series on Saturday mornings from Providence Bike. We need to form a schedule, and we need to identify ride leaders for different levels (beginner - advanced). We are looking at having RI NEMBA shirts printed up for trail work days and the Big River Earth Day cleanup - (another big turnout here will go a long way).

The next two meetings will be Tuesday February 1st and Tuesday March 1st at Mark's Grill (near BR) at 7:00. PM if you need directions etc.
