Every other Wednesday at 6:30we'll meet in the lobby area of Ray's. It's not a group ride in the traditional sense, just a standard night and time to get together and ride at the world's premiere indoor mountain biking park.

If you're new to Ray's, that's okay. A few of us know the park very well and we'd be happy to show you around - Just ask. Give this CAMBA article a read if you want some tips o­n preparing for Ray's.

See you Wednesday! Feb 3, Feb 17, Mar 3, Mar 17, Mar 31

Cuyahoga County Probate Judge Anthony Russo writes an article for The Plain Dealer explaining his vision of Cleveland Metroparks' role in the development of our lakefront.  Click here.

On December 17th the CAMBA board of directors voted o­n a nomination for a new President. Andrew Miller will be taking the presidential reigns as of January 1st 2010.

You may know Andrew from the CAMBA racing team, or the Medina group rides. Over the last year Andrew has been a regular face in helping with CAMBA events and advocating for mountain biking in North East Ohio. He's full of passion and enthusiasm and we're all very excited to see where he takes the organization.

Please help me in wishing Andrew good luck, and thanking him for his commitment.

We already pointed you to an interesting article from The Plain Dealer describing Judge Anthony Russo's involvement in the selection of a new Cleveland Metroparks director.  Shortly after that, The Plain Dealer published an editorial that sharply criticized Judge Russo for his involvement in the selection process.  CAMBA felt that this editorial was unfair and CAMBA Presdient Brett Zink responded to this editorial with a letter to the editor expressing our support for Judge Russo.
