Club dues. The club discussed instituting dues, which will be $5 and include membership/voting rights. 2. Insurance. Paul Schulz will look into what level of insurance the club needs, particularly for Tour of the Hocking and other official club-related events. The club discussed whether or not there is a liability issue regarding our unofficial Sunday rides. We may need to ask a lawyer about this. 3. Mission statement. The club agreed on a mission statement: To enjoy and promote bicycling and related issues. 4. Club structure. The club decided that four people must be present to constitute a meeting. Anyone may suggest an agenda item for an upcoming meeting or bring up a topic at a meeting. If an item requires vote, the club will vote on it at the following meeting, giving those not present an opportunity to learn about the issue and vote. The club voted on the following officers: Co-Presidents: Chip Krieg and Paul Schulz. The co-presidents will share presidential duties and can substitute for one another if one is not available. Webmaster: Tim Creamer Spiritual Advisor: Don Harse Secretary: Meredith Erlewine The committee discussed voting for Tom Wolf as treasurer, but Tom was not present at the meeting. This will be discussed at a later meeting. Officers were elected for a one-year term but may resign at any time if they feel it is necessary. 5. Tour of the Hocking (TOH) The club decided to form a TOH subcommittee due to the amount of work involved with the tour. Malcolm Idleman will serve as chairman of the TOH committee, assisted by Peter Kotses and Paul Schulz. Malcolm will come up with a list of related tasks and bring it to the next club meeting; he, Peter and Paul will divide up the duties. The club discussed possibly renting a U-haul this year for carrying the camping equipment. We may increase the tour limit to 60 participants this year. Tim Creamer volunteered to host the post-tour drop-off gathering at his house at 185 Grosvenor St. 6. Tour of Zaleski The club discussed planning a second tour in mid summer. The proposed Saturday-Sunday mountain bike tour would consist of a back-road ride to Lake Hope State Park, where we would lead rides highlighting the mountain bike trails there. Participants would have the choice of group camping at the primitive campsite or renting cabins (if they're available). We would arrange for a catered meal on Saturday night, and Sunday's ride back to Athens would highlight the Hockhocking Adena Bikeway. Suggestions regarding the proposed tour are encouraged. The proposed dates are Aug. 19 and 20. The club will vote at the next meeting. 7. Lake Hope trails There is a regular trail maintenance day scheduled for Sat., Feb. 26. Those interested in participating should contact Paul Schulz for more information. There is a major trail building day scheduled for the weekend of April 15, with camping and riding planned as well. This event is aimed at bringing attention to the work being done at the park and the club will try to encourage an excellent turnout. The club will discuss this at the next meeting. 8.
