On the latest one (Funniest p0rn video cuts), this one also came to
the Friends of the Border To Border Trail Google group, but Google
recognized it as spam and sent a letter to the moderator (me) for
screening. I clicked the box that indicated it was spam and not only
was the message deleted, but the person was reported to Google as a

It doesn't seem like a big issue to me - yet anyway. I'd like to hear
from our list moderator as to how much work is involved in deleting
the occasional spam vs the effort to review posts and approve new
members. Perhaps the strength of the spam filters can be turned up at
Google.

I'd recommend moderating the distribution as well. For the MMBA-Poto Yahoo
group distribution I approve new members and all posts except those from
club leaders. I'm not familiar with google, but I'd expect they should have
similar capabilities.

Innappropriate Messages On AABTS Forum

wolver...@yahoo.com (Robert Krzewinski) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 21:21:34 UT

With the latest "Paris Hilton" message on this forum, I would say time has come that people have to request to join the group. Another option would be to convert to a Yahoo discussion group where people have to actually type a sentence or two telling why they want to join.

Gary Update 10-23-09

ttre...@comcast.net (ttreppa) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:29:59 UT

Monday I visited Gary and Linda. When I arrived and went to his room,
the room was empty - wall to wall empty. Fortunately a nurse was near
and directed me to Gary's new room - 430. Phew. Linda wanted me to
stay for a while because the case worker was coming in for a visit.
Gary also was very adamant that I remain so I stayed. Before the case

mmei...@gmail.com (Mike Meiser) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 14:17:23 UT

Wow. Fascinating subject.
First, I've ridden pretty much every part of M52 from the State Line to
around Stockbridge, MI and even some sections well North of there.

That said the only horrible part of it is between Manchester and Chelsea,
which is.... Sharon township.

All other sections are well paved and have anywhere from sufficient shoulder

Sharon Township - Trustees Against Wide Shoulders On M-52?

wolver...@yahoo.com (Robert Krzewinski) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 21:54:08 UT

The Washtenaw Bicycling and Walking Coalition recently received an email from a Sharon Township resident saying that the Township Trustees there voted down an offer to pave the shoulders along M-52, even though it was at no cost to the Township. Apparently there seems to be some bias towards cyclists and wider road shoulders on MY-52 may also have been characterized as "bike lanes".

Gary Update 10-12-2009

I visited Gary last week and this week. He is a little improved this
week. When he said the wrong word he caught himself and said the
correct word. After we talked for a while, more than the allowed ten
minutes but then I've been known to bend rules ^-^, he started
taliing
about he was going to leave and go somewhere. I stayed a little while

Jump Start your off-season: 2 Stationary Trainers for Sale

jcpartri...@gmail.com (James Partridge) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 21:08:47 UT

I've got two stationary trainers for sale.

The first is a Performance "Travel Trac" magnetic trainer. I don't
know the specific model number. It has a cable-activated resistance
control you can mount to your handlebar to adjust the flywheel's
resistance. It's in decent condition and you can get a pretty good
