From the President
By Bill Weber
THE PREZ SAYS
Another year
is behind us. I have my usual list of resolutions again this
year. Ride more
(fun
and interesting rides all year long), go to a club meeting
(at
the January meeting,
Will
McMahan will present on
his
cross country bicycle trip
– and
the club buys pizza!),
Other things
to do are; list a ride on our monthly calendar or ride changes
page), volunteer for the McClinchy Mile Ride
(many opportunities allow you to ride as well as volunteer).
You probably remember them all from last year.
In 2008, I
had the opportunity to meet with Everett, Snohomish Co. and DOT
employees regarding bicycle related projects. This year I will
act as a co-chairperson for a Healthy Communities subcommittee
in Everett. I encourage everyone to talk with an elected
official from your neighborhood about bicycling in your
community.
You will be
surprised by how many of them already cycle or want to learn
more about a route or event that you may have attended.
Some club
members will go to Olympia again this year for Transportation
Lobby Day on February 24th to meet with state elected officials.
Contact me
if you are interested in more details.
I hope to
see everybody on a ride this year.
