A couple of years ago, CAMBA's Mike Farley wrote an article o­n this site about a trip to the North Fork Mountain Trail in West Virginia.  He wrote at the time that to him, North Fork Mountain is the definition of what mountain biking is all about.  Now we learn that this trail is threatened to be forever closed to bikes by a wilderness bill recently introduced by Rep. Alan Mollohan.  The wilderness issue is hitting very close to home these days and the o­nly way to stop these things is for YOU to take action.  Click here for information o­n how to make your voice heard.

We haven't been blessed with great riding weather this spring, as you all know. Rather than getting frustrated and staying indoors or even worse riding wet/muddy trails you should take a trip over to the mtb trail at Ohio and Erie Canal Reservation. 

OECR is holding up beautifully to the weather and it's in perfect riding shape right now.  Right now it's the o­nly trail in NE Ohio that's ridable. 
Go check it out! 

Once again our spring camp out was a huge success. Bill Braum once again outdid himself and put together a wonderful weekend. It was a good turnout of over 50 people and the rain stayed away for the better part of all the rides. Read below for my experience of the campout, and I hope to see you at the Fall Campout in Lake Hope!

     Mark o­n your calendars Saturday, June 19^thto attend the Trek Factory Demo Tour that will be making a stop in Hartville, Ohio at Quail Hollow State Park. This demo is designed to provide you a chance to ride the best bicycles from Trek and Gary Fisher firsthand, with both road and mountain bikes o­n hand.  Available bikes include: Madone 6 Series, Remedy 9.9, Fuel Ex 9.9, Top Fuel 9.8, Scratch, Gary Fisher Cronus, Superfly, Superfly 100 and Rumblefish. You will need to bring along your driver’s license and a major credit card to be able to ride. There is no charge to ride the demo bikes.

After the delay, West Branch is now open. Unfortunately, it is still too wet to ride, so we ask that you give it through the rest of the week to properly dry. We are hoping for it to be dry by this weekend.

Click here for some nice pictures and video of the first races of the Groovy Series at Vulture's Knob.

Esther Gates was kind enough to restart our Women's group rides. She'll be holding o­ne o­n the First Wednesday of the month at Medina Reagan Park and then o­n the Fourth Sunday at West Branch. All rides start at six and follow the same rules as CAMBA group rides.
