Natural Selection - Ride Order

Do you ever find that there is a natural order that develops when a huge posse of heckadudes sets out on a group ride. The fastest dudes that know the trail the best usually end up in the dust free front (or maybe shedding all the dew off of the brush on a wet morining, or eating all the spider webs across the trail). Below is a great article on ride order from NSMB.com

SFUR will be working with the Mount Sutro Stewards, Nature in theCity, and One Brick on Trail and Habitat improvements on Mount Sutro.
We will continue to work on the Lower Connector Trail and its awesome switchbacks. This trail is the basis for future trail links like theStanyan Street Trail and eventually over to Belgrave and Clarendon allon dirt. We had 12 volunteers last month and we made tremendous progress. We can finish this new section of trail on Saturday with enough help, and be ready to start another new link in February... how cool is that?
SFUR needs your support in making the City a better place to recreate on your bike!

Carlmont Cleanup Saturday 01/10/09
Travis "Mr. Sugar Shorts" Simbulan gets air at Carlmont Recently at a City of Belmont meeting, Patty was approached by a high ranking city official who had heard from a neighbor about their concerns about the trash in the dirt jumping area behind Carlmont High School. This area is private property and not a Belmont Park, so the city is not responsible for maintaining it unless it poses a health and safety risk, and then the city would need to take a number of legal steps before entering the property. We don't want the city to feel that they need to clean the place up. The landowners appear to be unconcerned about the jumps on this undeveloped parcel and we'd like it to stay that way. So riders who hang out in the forums at Ridemonkey and RideSFO are going to help organize a cleanup day. We are recruiting helpers so we can keep this area clean and tidy. Garbage will be hauled out, including some dumped furniture, and the area will be scoured for random bottles, broken glass or other trash.So save the date and plan on helping out. The dirt jumps have been in use for over a decade and we think they should be considered an asset to the city, not a liability.

Utah, Colorado, and the Sierras.
