Jonk made out like a bandit at last night's VMB PostHoliday Party. Here he is modeling his new riding gear.

P.S. Great Party. Thanks Doug, Tracy and the Party Committee.
Bill K., your chili was great, had 3 helpings.

Great party everyone. Awsome pick on the :beer: Tracy

Was wondering if anyone picked up my cutting board? I wouldn't really care but its a custom piece of my kitchen.

The guys from Wet Paint Films (www.wetpaintfilms.com) finally finished "Way of Life" episode from Ted's Mike Aitken Benefit Jump Jam. You can check it out here:

Make sure you click the roll-over in the lower right to watch in high definition. Enjoy, and you'd better not miss it next year.

Just a friendly reminder... a lot of Memberships are up for renewal in Jan. and Feb. We appreciate your support of the club in the past and look forward to your continued support in '09.

You can check when your last dues was paid on the members page. If you renew prior to your expiration date we'll mark it paid from the expiration date.

Renewals can be done on-line, or at the party on Fri.

There have been a couple of incidents where riders, parked at the trailhead for a night ride, have been told to leave by the police. The officers cite the Walking Purchase Park's rule of closure from dusk to dawn.

This potentially affects many riders during this time of year as it is dark before they even leave work. Before deciding what action needs to be taken, information needs to be gathered.

So, has this happened to you? Please share on this thread all relevant info regarding your experience including:

1. Time of day this occurred.
2. Where this occurred.

I found them online on sale for $124.99.

Might any of you out there have photos from the clinic? I do vaguely remember someone taking shots. Please post them if you can -- I would like to see them. Thanks.

Looks like a trip north might be in order for Sunday. Crystal Lake is in good shape to get hammered with snow Saturday. Sunday could be a nice day there.

Every two years, several VMB members commit themselves to this fund-raising ride. They spend a week away from home and sleep in gymnasiums -- averaging between 500-600 miles in the saddle over some demanding terrain. Prior to this, they attempt to raise the funds necessary to participate. This commonly includes anything from a letter-writing campaign to showing up with buckets to collect change from shoppers while they spin on their bikes outside of Wal-Mart.

This is way off topic, but I'm looking for a place to hold a meeting for a non-profit group. The room should be able to hold about 120 people. Should have seating for a lecture-style meeting. It should have ample parking. Preferably on the first floor to avoid steps. The room should also have some extra space for tables so educational material can be displayed. Room needs to be available for the 3rd or 4th Thursdays of the month. Need to keep the cost around or under $250.

If you know of something available like this in the Lehigh Valley, please PM me.
