I've done trail maintenance with John Knouse. He is a very colorful
person.<br>
<br>
You must ask him to sing some Germanic Opera while you are working.<br>
<br>
Nothing like chipping away at the trail while someone behind you is
belting out Vaughner.<br>
<br>
It's a great experience.<br>

<pre wrap="">I think it would be worth the club's time to put in the work on the
campsite, even though it doesn't have as much direct benefit for us as
working on the actual trails. I've always felt like all trail users in
the Athens area would be better off if we were able to build a few more
connections between the hiking community and the cycling community.
Working with this group on the campsite would help with that. Plus, Pat
is right about it burning come volunteer hours.
Besides, we might want to go camping sometime, too.
I'm going to try to arrange my schedule to be able to come to this.

<pre wrap="">OU MBC,
I talked to Pete at Athens Bike and he put me in contact with a guy
named John Knouse. John will be having a work session on Sunday,
February 21, at Strouds Run. Unfortunately, it sounds like it will be
campsite maintenance and not bike trail work. However, it is something
to kill volunteer hours, and hours are what we should focus on.
What are your guys' and gals' opinions on this? I need to know ASAP so
we can plan on doing this or volunteer for some different things like
swim meets that Club Sports mentions every once in a while.
Something interesting a learned from John. Apparently the parks
department director has a policy of not maintaining trails on city
property, so we can't just go out and do that yet. I'll ask John more
specifically what that means pretty soon. Maybe we can work something
out with the city - we'll see.
Thanks,
Pat
