Draft 2012 Velo Budget
Members attending the January 11th Club meeting will consider adoption of the 2012 budget. The budget forecasts revenues and establishes spending for the Club's varied activities. The draft budget, available at bit.ly/Velo_draft_budget, attempts to reflect the Club's past while meeting its future needs. It anticipates the Club growing all its income sources, maintaining funding for social events, increasing participation in the Mountain Lakes Challenge, and initiating training and education programs for members and the general public. In short, it's going to be a great year - great rides with a diverse and interesting community of cyclists.

VeloMello Ride Leaders
It's apparent a VeloMello weekly Saturday ride is needed. Members ask for it. A VeloMello ride averages 10-12 mph over 20+ mile distances. We need four leaders to contract to do one ride a month. Contact: Phil: star@mind.net.

Riding in All Temperatures
It’s cold. When it is, I’m confused about what to wear, such as how many layers and of what material. Here’s a solution that I'm hoping to try on upcoming rides--keeping a log of: 1) the outside temperature on departure and return, 2) weather and conditions, 3) cycling clothing I wore, and 4) my general comfort while on the ride. That way, it won’t be long before I can dress with confidence whatever the temperature. (Adapted from Chico Velo content - Safe Riding in All Temperatures)

2011 Holiday Party
Believe it or not, the Holiday Season is upon us. It's time to make your reservations for the ever so popular Siskiyou Velo Holiday Party.
When: Sunday, December 11th
Where: The Elks Club in Ashland (225 E. Main Street, but you will need to come in the door at the back next to the parking lot)
Time: 6:00 PM
Appetizers and a no host bar will precede dinner. The dinner is, once again, catered by "Yummy's Cowboy Cuisine". Choices for main entrees will include prime rib, stuffed chicken breast, or a vegetarian lasagna. The cost for velo members will be $10, nonmembers/guests $20. MLC member volunteers will register as normal (plus check the MLC box in the registration site), but will be reimbursed $10.00 at the door. For those of you who may choose to bring your own wine, there is a $6 corkage fee.
This will be a great party, with lots of recognitions and awards, maybe even a door prize or two.
Follow this link to register and plan on paying by credit card using our Paypal system.
Please don't hesitate and sign up soon. The deadline for all reservations is Wednesday, December 7th. If you have questions, please contact Elizabeth at ecrawfordzell@yahoo.com or Aryn at arynduncan@aol.com.
See you there, Elizabeth and Aryn
