Bicycle Ride - May 25! Spin with CRC
by Jonathan Rosenbaum 29 May '14

29 May '14

Mark your calendars! Positive Spin will join Country Roads Cyclists (CRC) for two bicycle rides on May 25th and June 1; both events begin at 1pm. Meet at the Marilla Park Headquarters Building <http://goo.gl/maps/IhZT9> near Positive Spin. Sunday, May 25 (Memorial Weekend), 1pm - We will bike up the Deckers Creek Trail to Masontown (milepost 13), then return to the park. Then we will have an informal potluck picnic at Positive Spin. Please bring a dish to share, or food can be purchased in Sabraton. Sunday, June 1, 1pm - We will bike south on the Mon River Tail to the Opekiska Dam (milepost 24), then return to the park. Attached is the CRC ride schedule with additional information about both rides, including a significant number of other rides that CRC hosts, sometimes 3 on one weekend; there is even a repeat of the Spring Spectacular this Sunday. When I was 11 years old, my own introduction to recreational road riding came from rides with an organization that preceded CRC, the Monongalia Bicycle Club. It is impressive to observe that the tradition of arranging rides that are friendly to all skill levels continues with CRC! Our organizations are now partners, and I would like to encourage Positive Spin volunteers (in lieu of hours) and supporters not only to become members of the Spin <http://apps.wvcompletestreets.org>, but to consider joining CRC <http://crcyclists.org/mem_form.pdf> for only $10! -Jonathan

Volunteers needed - helmet fitting - Todd May First Responders Fair
by Jonathan Rosenbaum 15 May '14

15 May '14

Volunteer helmet fitters needed for Saturday, May 17th, between 10am - 2pm for the *Todd May First Responders Fair*! Learn how to fit a helmet properly by watching this video <http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=dKo791h2hfE&t=166> produced by Positive Spin. *Good News*: This is an awesome opportunity for the Spin because there is a good possibility that one of the sponsors, Farmer, Cline, and Campbell Law Office, will donate leftover helmets to Positive Spin assuming they end up with extra helmets! * Where:* University Town Center Walmart, Granville *When:* May 17, 10am - 2pm *About the Helmets:* Each child will be given a FREE bicycle helmet. The coordinator of the helmet fitting told me they need volunteers even if it is just for a portion of the time, and they want to know how many volunteers will be participating before the event. * **Please email me if you can participate**.* Bonus ride: I will be bicycling up to the event (and back to the Spin at 12:30pm), so if anyone wants to ride up with me, please confirm. We can meet on the rail trail by the John F. Kennedy Memorial in the Edith Barill Riverfront Park around 9:30am. Thank-you! -Jonathan
