4th of July Ride

Independence (from gas) Day

Meet @ Stell around 7:30pm
July's RAR and Independence Day align this year, so if you hate trying to drive anywhere near the University of Redlands to see their show, come on a ride around Redlands and up to U of R's Admin Hill.

Last year, the few of us that went got a decent view of the spangled red glares and got to snake smoothly through all the limping cars after the show.

It was pretty cool...and...well, a bit snooty too. : )

THEY WENT BIG! Loma Linda Council voted YES Adding 587 Acres to the South Hills Preserve!

http://tinyurl.com/6cmftx Loma Linda City Council looks like they are going big to save another massive section of the Mountain biking area in the newly named South Hills Preserve! Item E on the agenda reads: "Approve contract to purchase 587.16 acres south of Beaumont Road [City Attorney]" Looks like its the big vote for Scott Canyon and public access to Jedi Trail. Some of us are riding from Stell at 5:30 PM the more the merrier for this potentially very big day for mountain biking in Loma Linda! Session starts at 6PM.

Loma Linda City Council voted to continue the vote until next Tuesday, perhaps we need to create a Loma Linda City Council ride and make a regular thing of this... Still have high hopes and we've got some Sweat and Smog equity in the idea now 100+ temps and 140+ AQI - 100% by bike. Just ride slower so you don't sandpaper your lung with Ozone. Check back for another update.

Mark B. and I were there for the momentous vote! It was standing ovation when they took the big move and they will be discussing an initiative for the ballot in Nov to permanently place all 1700+ acres in a permanent open space preserve! Loma Linda went BIG for mountain biking in the South Hills, please thank them.

SEA NO EVIL Art Show

Its back and its growing. All floors of the Riverside Art Museum will be dedicated to art donated to raise awareness and funds for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. They protect Marine Mammals and endangered Sea Life all over the world. Matt Costa is playing a set and DJ Shepherd Fairey will be on hand, Enjoy.

Bicycle Film Festival - LA

Los Angeles July 16-19 - Mark the calendars. Last year a few of us rolled over to Metrolink and headed down for the festivities, if anyone is up for riding down this year that would be cool too since we don't have the SART grand opening to go to first this year! Mark the calendars for something cool to do the weekend after the SEA NO EVIL art show in Riverside. http://bicyclefilmfestival.com/2008_site/la/

It was an epic adventure 30+ hours of non-stop biking, movies and rolling parties check out Cannibal Contingency's shots here
