Sedona Marathon
My name is Adam Gifford and I am the owner of Sedona Running Company here in West Sedona. We are working closely with the Sedona Marathon (Saturday 4 February) and are in need of some lead cyclists for the different races. We were hoping that you could send the word out to local cyclists and have them contact me if they are interested.
Here are the requirements for the lead cyclists:
1. Ride 30-100 feet in front of the lead runner for each race distance.
2. Announce to any approached runners that somone will be passing on their left.
3. Announce to each aid station that the lead runner is approaching.
4. Announce to the timing booth that the runners is approaching the finish line.
Ultimately we would like to have 8 cyclists which is 1 for each gender in each of the 4 race distances (5k, 10k, 13.1 mile, 26.2 mile). The cyclists who lead out the marathon front runners (26.2iles) will only have to ride about 13 miles since miles 8-19 are an out-and-back on dirt roads (and we don't want people risking their road bikes on the rutted and rocky dirt roads). The 5k and 10k riders will need to hold a 12-15 mph speed for the entire distance. The 13.1 mile riders will need to hold a 10-14 mph speed for the entire distance. The 26.2 mile riders will need to hold a 9-14 mph speed for the entire time. Thanks in advance for your time!!!

Please Contact your Senators Again Today to Save Bicycle and Pedestrian Funding
It’s happening again.
Just one month ago, Sen. Coburn (R-OK) failed in his efforts to strip
funding for Transportation Enhancements from the six-month
transportation extension. Please contact your Senators today to ask them to vote against the Paul amendment (SA-821) to eliminate Transportation Enhancements. And then please forward this message to all your members and supporters, with the link to the League of American Bicyclists Action Center. Here you'll find a sample letter you can customize to send to your Senators, as well. Here is a chance to express your opinion of the Coconino National Forest’s Red Rock trails. The US Forest Service is interested in collecting pictures of your most and least favorite sections of trail improvements. We are planning on having a get-together and slide show in early November with all you Red Rock riders to vote on the best and brightest pictures. These will be used for a trail maintenance and construction manual specifically written for Red Rock’s trails. The purpose of the manual is to make sure our nice flowy single tracks don't become dumb downed super highways. Don't be shy! Send me your pictures!!!! Feel free to make negative or positive comments. Let your voice be heard. E-mail me at mike_woodhouse1@yahoo.com instead of my work e-mail. I rarely use the work one because I’m usually out riding. Yes I know... tough job! Like Riding A Bike from Dominic Latham-Koenig on Vimeo. Calendar for VVCC Rides and Events
