BB Members, As I promised, here is the email chain from last May (2012) that shows the conversation with the Black Bear folks about placing a SARIS rack at their Evansdale location. Let's discuss tonight. ~Derek

It is also now too late.

I think the wind got blown out of the sails on this one Derek,
Them not being sure about whether they could or not and them not wanting to find out about it, kind of expecting us/you/we to do that.
Good effort Derek, hope you are able to get out and right some in the
heat.

BB Members, No one chimed in to take the lead on this, so I can I assume we're not interested enough to pursue a free bike rack at the Black Bear location? I have two things scheduled for my evening tonight, one of which will keep me out until after 9pm, so I won't be able to make it happen tonight. If someone else can volunteer to put the pieces together for a photo op, I could potentially be available tomorrow for a half hour or hour. If someone does take the lead, please let me know if you need my assistance. Later, ~Derek

All BB Members, Can someone please take the lead on organizing the Black Bear photo for the Sarris contest? I just need to move that off of my plate at least until after Wednesday. I would still be be open to actually taking the photo or bringing some props perhaps on Thursday or Friday, but I just don't have time until then.
Jason from Black Bear requested that we contact Mr. Sellaro who owns/leases the property by asking: Can somebody from your board contact Jim Sellaro for permission? I will contact Jim and let him know to expect a call. He runs Sellaro Overhead Door service in Star City.
Also, Damien Davis asked yesterday: Are you taking the lead on getting the photo taken at Black Bear? If so, will you contact Aaron Stout (412-287-1512). He is going to be managing the new location and is willing to help. He is working till 4:30, 5:00pm. Please call him after this time.
Please let me know if you're acting on this to help us out!
Thanks, ~Derek

Derek,
Do Iwe understand correctly that you are trying to enter a contest to win a free bike "rack" for our new location? If so, we need the permission of the property owners before we do anything. While Matt and I would love to have bike parking over there getting permission from the group of owners may find opposition (we speak from experience thus far). We are waiting on permission on several other requests made to the Sellaro family and
don't
wish to personally poke the hornet's nest further. Can somebody from your board contact Jim Sellaro for permission? I will contact Jim and let
him
know to expect a call. He runs Sellaro Overhead Door service in Star City. With permission granted, you may take photos when you wish but we do
know
that contractors are in and out all weekend and therefore trucks and equipment abound. Please keep us posted.
Jason

Jason, After discussing with a few folks on the Bike Board, we still have alot of interest to enter the Saris Corral contest. Assuming we have your blessing, could we still take a photo for this location, try to make it look appealing for the photo using cyclists and maybe props, and submit it for the contest? If so, what day and time can we do so? We have to submit by the 25th, so I propose that we do it this weekend or early next week. Thanks, ~Derek

I agree, plus Sarris will get lots of free promo when they open which may lead to other eateries putting inm bike parking.

Hi Bike Board,
Could we just take a photo of the BB building (with Jason Coffman's permission of course) from the right side from across the street and explain that this is a popular Morgantown restaurant and it will be opening soon? Isn't it worth a shot?
Just my two cents.

All BB members, Doesn't look too promising from the Black Bear folks for the Saris corral. Derek

Hi Derek. Not sure that we have been contacted by anyone else so this
is
our only response so far.... we will definitely NOT be open by the
25th,
sorry. Our contractors will still be doing work at that point (inside and outside). Coincidentally we also will NOT be offering outdoor seating when we initially open. We appreciate your interest but it doesn't sound
like
we are in a position to offer much in your time frame. Let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Hey guys, When is the new location on University Avenue opening? I'm a member of the Morgantown Municipal Bicycle Board, and we were hoping to enter the Saris Bike Corral contest to try to get you convenient place for bikes to be parked outside of your new location. I understand that you've already been contacted by another member and don't want to duplicate that much. Is there any chance you'll be opening before May 25th? If you're interested,
we'd
love to take a photo outside of the new location, but we'd have a
better
shot at winning if the storefront looked finished and there were people outside enjoying lunch, etc. If you're not opening by the 25th, we likely won't use the location unless we can stage something that makes it look lively without much effort.
Let us know your thoughts!
The contest website is located here: http://www.saris.com/bike-corral-contest
I love your food so much.. . ~Derek
