    Default Spring Picnic & Swap Meet April 29th

    It's happening.

    Sunday April 29th 10-1
    Shelter @ Illiniwek Forrest Preserve in Hampton IL

    Bring your bike related items: parts, clothes, frames, complete bikes, to sell and swap with other cyclists.
    I am sure there will be some riding before during and after the event, both along the riverfront path and off road on the Illiniwek Bluff trails.

    Also available for purchase will be all of our clubs entire line of clothing! Socks, Hoodies, T-Shirts, Jerseys and more!

    At our next monthly meeting we will take a vote if the Club should pay for some food like sandwiches or fried chicken.

    More importantly, you won't be standing up at Matthiessen State Park all alone on the 29th!

    Awesome!! Lets plan on some swingbike rides, too. maybe a couple of the smaller prebuilt obstacles just for giggles, too!!
    and lets invite everyone we see!!!!

    Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.

    OK folks start cleaning out your closets and garages. Picnic & Swap meet this Sunday!

    The club will provide cold cut sandwiches, pop, and water.
    Lets round that out by members bringing items to share like, chips, salads, deserts etc. Someone please bring deviled eggs!

    Don't forget your bike to ride the trails at Illiniwek.

    Post up if you think you might be coming so we can plan for how much sandwich to buy. And also so I know how much cash I should bring to get some great deals. You all KNOW I don't buy new!!!

    Anna & I will be there. I will try and find something to bring, but by the time I am ready to retire something I think most of the value has been ridden out of it!!
    I can use some computer mounts for Cateye brand computers.

    I will have this bike there for sale. A friend of mine is asking $1,150 for it. The light in this photo does not do the color much justice. Bike probably has 300 miles on it and is in GREAT shape. It's a 2007 or 2008. Color is unique as it was a test bike for a shop. I think that is also why I am not sure of the year as the build not quite fit anything listed at bikepedia.

    What time is this going down?

    I plan to come and bring my Slingshot frame to sell ($250) and my Homegrown ($500). I also have a brand new helmet and some other crap. I know a girl looking to buy a bike for around $200. Prob M maybe L. Anyone have anything like that?

    What's the full schedule? Are we doing a wrench clinic, MTB 101, ride anything like that? I seem to recall talk of all that stuff but don't know if any of it is actually happening.
