Take a Kid Mountain Biking
Take a Kid Mountain Biking day sponsored by Lockheed Martin, Flowers Bakery, Wal-Mart, Primal, Village Cycle, Ocala Cycle Center and IMBA.
It was a great day to take a kid out on mountain bikes, the weather was perfect. Before the ride the kids went through a short lesson on bike safety, and how to check for helmet fit. Once everyone passed inspection we explained a little about skye park and how to ride it. Needless to say we had a few bumps and scratches but nothing major. We eventually split them into groups and took them out on the trails, some of the kids came back and wanted to go out again, while others looked exhausted.
The reward for finishing their ride was a BBQ, and swag. Some of the parents even got swag. In all total we had 40 kids and a parent and a half.
I would like to thank all the patrol members who helped out on this event, and Rob who did a great job in organizing and running the event. Thanks everyone for another successful event. OMBA Rocks..
A few more photos, the rest of the photos can be found at:
, stay tune for more photos all have not been uploaded yet. I would like to thank all of our photographers, we have approx. 200 photos of the kids, thanks photographers..

National Trails Day June 7th |

In celebration of National Trails Day, on June 7th, 2008, beginning at 8:00 a.m., the Office of Greenways and Trails will join with volunteers from around Florida for a work party on the Cross Florida Greenway. With the help of dedicated volunteers and support of trail user groups, much can be accomplished at the targeted areas of Coyote Corner and a former cow coral south of the Land Bridge corridor.
In the past we have had close to 70 volunteers who participated in the trail work party consisting of bikers, equestrians and hikers. I hope that we can go beyond that number and accomplish a major clean up.
At the end of the morning's activities, everyone will gather for a "volunteer appreciation" lunch with a special menu. You don't want to miss this one!
We plan to meet at 8:00 a.m. at the Land Bridge Trailhead before breaking up into groups. Bring some work gloves, sun block and wear some closed toe shoes... Mosquitoes are out so bring bug repellant too... We're in for a fun-filled morning of working together to help our trails look great and then celebrating our good work with some great food!
Please let me know if you will be able to attend or if you have an estimate of how many volunteers from your group will be able to participate:
I look forward to seeing each of you out on the trails.
