ROC Trail Bits 2006 #52
Trail Bits # 52 – Important Notice
As this is the last weekly email of 2006 (#52) it is time once again time for me to send out the annual Membership Renewal forms. Due to liability concerns we have had to develop a new membership form this year, which includes a Waiver Form, which needs to be signed and returned. The Board has also been informed that due to liability concerns I should not email the Trail Bits out to people that are not paid members of Runners of Compassion and/or who have not signed the Waiver Form. If you are a new member of ROC since the end of September 2006, you are considered paid for 2007. I will need the signed form back though.
You should be aware that as of the January 31, 2007 Trail Bits I will have to remove the email addresses of any people who have not returned their signed Wavier Form and Membership Form….sorry.
On a lighter note, The Run of Humility/Abyss on Saturday was fantastic... what a perfect run to have just two days before Christmas. A light dusting of fresh snow had fallen during the early hours of the morning leaving everything white, bright and Christmassy. The trails in this area are in fantastic shape despite all of the wind we have had the last few weeks with virtually no blow down across any of the trails. If you are looking for clear trails to run or mountain bike on, this is the area to go. The rocks are a wee bit slippery so be careful.
