Lynn Woods Work Day # 4
On Sunday October 12, 2008, Dieselbikes will be holding our forth and final Trail Maintenance days in Lynn Woods for 2008. Park Management has approved this trail day and we look forward to support by the local community. Sunday will begin phase two of re-working Ridge Run Trail making it more stable and fun for all park users. We will require a ton of volunteers to complete the job on Sunday. The trail work site is just a 10-minute walk from the Ballfield parking lot! Here is what you need to know...
Local Mountain Biker Injured!
We all have crashed from time to time, but we don't let ourselves dwell on what a really bad accident might entail...Like, "What if I don't walk away?" Well, someone we know and you may know as well is having to think about it. On September 20th, Matt Kapolka of Somerville, MA, a Dieselbikes rider, regular at ImprovBoston, and Abbot BeMex from last years "Wheels of Fury" had a mountain bike accident resulting in a severe head injury. Matt is making progress everyday in recovering his physical and mental faculties but the recovery and rehabilitation will take months. We at Dieselbikes have begun a fund raiser to assist Matt financially during this difficult period. We are asking for monetary donations from the local community. We all realize how inherently dangerous our sport is. Now one of our own is down and we need support him at this difficult time.
Donations of any amount would be gratefully accepted to assist Matt through the next couple of months while he attends rehab. His family and friends are doing their best, but his limited medical insurance will not cover all expenses. This is a serious matter and we would not be asking for help from the community unless it was necessary!
Bikes & Beer...A Sober Story!
You’re having a brisk heart-pounding ride through the woods hitting some of your favorite trail features. You push yourself through rock gardens, navigate twisting singletrack and feel a natural high that is achieved when you are on your mountain bike! At the end of your ride you crack open a smooth, cool tasty beverage called BEER! Ah yes, the ride is now complete!
