USA Cycling Local Associations summit meeting

LAMBRA Racers: I have attached the agenda for the USA Cycling Local Associations summit meeting that Michael Humphreys and I will be attending this weekend. There is always a lot of discussion at these meetings and I would appreciate hearing from you about any issues in which you are particularly interested. I am sure there will be much talk about how USAC might work with USADA to become more proactive in the anti-doping arena, how we can improve the racing experience for new riders, etc. We will be scheduling the annual LAMBRA meeting soon, so please also take some time to discuss with your clubs the events that you might wish to get onto the LAMBRA calendar for 2013, changes in the LCCS points competition, etc. We’ll send out a notice as soon as we are ready to begin putting together the LAMBRA planning calendar so we can see where there are conflicts and get them resolved as early as possible. Thanks, Randy. ______________________________________ Randall Legeai President, Louisiana-Mississippi Bicycle Racing Assn. 504-228-5891 http://www.lambra.org/ http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/1588338/528603140/name/LA%20Summit%20Agenda%2Epdf

Hunting Season

A reminder that is applicable to a lot of the trails around our area. Hunting season is kicking off with squirrel season opening this Sat. October 6th. 1. Please wear orange or bright colors when mountain biking outside a recreation area. 2. Make noise or announce yourself when you come upon a hunter to alert them you a biker. 3. Hunters can hunt anywhere outside a recreation area. Basically, if you ride outside the Kincaid campground loop you aren't in the recreation area. The USFS maps show the recreation areas. 4. Hunters need to be 150 yards from the trail when hunting and can not shoot across the roads and trails. 5. If you come upon a hunter avoid conflict and give the District office a call if you find hunters violating these regulations. 318-793-9427.
