Greetings Fellow MCC-ers!

So - here we are @ the end of another great year of riding, racing and general bike-related goings-on! I hope that your Christmas was awesome and that your New Year’s will be as well.

It’s time once again for a club meeting and I wanted to fill you in on the details. As always there’s lots going on and we’re thinkin’ that you wanna be in the loop.

Monday 1/4/10 8:00pm

New Holland Brewery Conference Room.

Program - We’ll introduce the newly elected Board Members and announce the new officers for 2010. The folks from the Ultimate Cycle Challenge will give a very brief presentation on the event and stay around for questions afterward and Elisa Hoekwater from the Macatawa Area Co-ordinating Council will present the Master Plan of proposed bikeways in the area. She’ll be answering your questions and looking for feedback on the plan so here’s your chance to affect the future of cycling in our region! Don’t miss out!

Looking ahead there are a few dates that you might wanna put on your calendars -

Sun 1/31 will be the club’s Annual Winter Party @ New Holland from 4-7pm. We’ll have food and beverages and just hang out, enjoy each others company and maybe have a drawing or two. The club will cover the tab for food and soft drinks and there will be a special price on beers. All club members and familys are more than welcome! More details soon.

Sat 1/16 is the Versluis SnowCross for those of you that didn’t get enough ‘cross racing in.

Fri-Sat 2/19-20 is the Ultimate Cycle Challenge. We will have a MCC Team for sure.

Also -if I may be forgiven for “hijacking” this note - we’re hosting our traditional New Year’s Day Ride from Velo City @ 1:00pm. 20-25 miles and lotsa food and drink afterwards!

I REALLY hope we have the pleasure of your company next Monday! This is your club & what it is depends on who shows up and speaks up, y’know?

Ride on!

Mike C, Prez
