Members present: Pete Kotses, Joey Boyle, Ellen Gerl, Tina Hall, Jim Schulz, Dave Messina, Chip Krieg, Tim Creamer, Tracy Kitts, Tom Wolf, Malcolm Idleman, AW, Paul Schulz, Bob West, Mac Strickland, Katsu


1. Club Web Site

What is the protocol for the web site. It is stagnant and there are things that need to go up there. Who wants to put the energy into it? Tim does. Tom thinks that the web site needs cue sheets for rides and maps and stuff. Next Steps: Everybody bring their ideas for the Web site to the next meeting or email them to Tim. At the next meeting we will discuss what items we want and prioritize them.

2. Spring Ride (Tom’s Trillium Tour)

Everything sounds in order. Tom need volunteers to work the morning of the ride. If you can volunteer, please contact Tom.

3. Tour of the Hocking

There are road closures by the river but they should be open for the ride. We have secured a caterer. Tom is considering a couple of route changes. The club decided to leave the price the same as last year. Ellen will be purchasing breakfast supplies.
We need to identify drivers for the sag.

4. Trailbuilding Progress

Lake Hope — Yosemite falls is done and looking good, needs a little benching, and needs ridden. Sidewinder needs adoption, looking after for maintenance. Malcolm suggested that the route be added to the map.

Strouds Run — Everything is good and trailbuilding is set to be finished for the season. There will be maintenance to be done on some trails after the gravel rouser classic. There should be no riding on the trails that we have built that are flagged yellow until after Phil Cantino has moved plants.

5. Using OMBA's 501(c)3 Status

Cleveland chapter has proposed that we join there federation so that we can use their 5013c status. We would have to pay dues and everything would be handled through the web. Insurance would be a major benefit. Pete is going to get more information. We could have two accounts so we could handle our money as well as money with the OMBA. Pete suggested dues of $15.

Meeting adjourned.

The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, Apr. 2, 2007 at 7 p.m. at the Cat's Den.

Cheers!
