KNOBBY NOTES

By Bill Rogers

March 2000

It may be a little premature, but it appears that spring is upon us. Maybe I'm being too optimistic, but hopefully great riding weather is here to stay for awhile. Of course, this time of year also means it's time to put the finishing touches on our own Ocoee Fat Tire Festival.

After a series of meetings, we have made several changes and additions to our format. All the changes will be detailed when the flyers are mailed out, but here are some of the highlights:

1) More meals - including lunch and dinner and a pancake cook-off Sunday morning

2) New games

3) A "Poker Run" Sunday morning-each person collects a card at a total of five different checkpoints. The person with the best hand wins.

4) Mountain Bike Clinic – Tips and techniques for the beginning mountain biker

The dates for this year's festival are April 28-30. With a little luck we'll actually have everything ready by then. As always, volunteers are needed to make this a success. Ride leaders, meal detail, registration, and more are needed so please let's all pitch in.
