Surveys
Thank you to all who
have
participated in the time trial survey.
The response to the survey has been good, and your
comments and answers will help
guide the direction of next year’s race schedule.
The survey
will continue to be available for those who have not yet participated.
I’ve
created three additional surveys that are now open. They cover the
topics of General Membership, Cyclocross Races
and the Club Banquet. Each
survey is a maximum of ten questions. Most answers are in the form of
multiple choice, however, some answers do require a short
reply. Please take time to
thoroughly
express your opinion
and thoughts, as the
information will be used to
guide future Club
events.
I don’t want folks to feel
inundated with surveys, nor is
there any pressure to complete them
immediately or in a single sitting.
Please
participate in the surveys, but
do so
at your leisure.
I had the time this week to create the surveys, and since they are
finished I thought I would make them available.
Also,
since the season is
beginning
to wind down, much of the survey
info will be used to
help plan next year. Some of the
survey results, however,
may influence this
year’s remaining activities.
The
surveys can be found here:
Time Trial Survey
General Membership
Survey
Cyclocross Survey
Annual Banquet Survey
Thanks again for taking
the time to provide your input, thoughts and comments.

Mountain Biking Enthusiasts:
The
Wood County Park District (Perrysburg, Grand Rapids, BG, etc.) is
thinking about building off-road trails for biking. This would be
great as you know there is a total lack of mtn. bike trails in NW Ohio.
However, they have received no support from cyclists (see email below).
The person in charge of this at the Park is asking us to FLOOD his
mailbox. Please send an email to
aliest@wcparks. org and let him know 1) you support this effort and
2) if you're willing to help in some way. Helping could be as
simple as a) I'll ride the trail, b) I live in Wood co. and will pay my
taxes, c) I'll bring my rake for a trail build day, etc. |

Teall Podcast - Bikepath Etiquette, another fine
piece by Dave.
Find
the Podcast here. Your MP3 player should launch and play the
podcast.
In
my comp 1 class students are completing a SoundScape audio podcast. As
always, I urge my students to seek a wider audience through publication.
Having fashioned a model podcast for the students to follow, I thought
it wise to practice what I preach. It's titled Bikepath Etiquette.
