Overview of 2015: a narrated slide presentation of CROCT’s activities, events, & accomplishments

I’ve added audio narration to the slide presentation that CROCT President Marty Larson and I did for the 3rd Annual Soup & Cycles meeting back in January. It’s an overview of CROCT-related activities, events, and accomplishments in the past year.  Like most any online video, you can pause it, move the slider backwards and forwards, and watch it in full-screen mode. 23 minutes:

We received notice this week from Sallie Hoefer, Chapter Services Manager at the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA), that CROCT is now an IMBA Chapter.

Matt Andrews, IMBAOur thanks to Matt Andrews, Associate Regional Director for IMBA’s Midwest Region, for guiding us through the process. See this April blog post on Matt’s visit to Northfield for a CROCT board meeting.

We were pleased to have six mountain bikers from the Faribault area attended our CROCT board meeting at the Washington Recreation Center last week: Jason DeCoux, Pat Walsh, Stephan Weissmann, Rob Newport, Phil Thoreson, and Mike Rost.  CROCT member Jeremy Bokman is also from Faribault.  Next month’s board meeting will also be in Fbo, 7 pm, same place.

On our IMBA Chapter application we’re required to indicate the geographic boundaries of our club using zip codes.  We’ve indicated that we want to stay within Rice County for now, so that means these communities:

Faribault: 55021
Lonsdale, Veseli: 55046
Morristown: 55052
Nerstrand: 55053
Northfield: 55057
Warsaw: 55087

If you’re a mountain biker in one of those cities or anywhere in between, let us know!
