I have a web site up to take donations. Any sort of publicity that you could provide here would be great. I have also thought about putting together a ride to help raise more money so anyone who as experience organizing something like that, I'd love to hear from them.
Here is the link to donate. http://www.active.com/donate/csathletics/raceforelijah
Thanks for any help you can give.

In preparation for Monday’s club meeting, you might want to try mapping your preferred bike routes using Google Earth. You can down load it easily (I tried; it worked). After you down load the program, you can view the attached sample bike route from Eric at Samford (sent courtesy of Rosemary Fisk).
See you Monday!

BBC membership meeting - mark your calendars
Event: BBC Meeting
Date: Monday, November 17, 2008
Location: Irondale Café, 1906 1st Ave N, Irondale, AL 35210, (205) 956-5258
Time: 6:30pm
Program: Bike Routes
As a follow-up to last month’s meeting, Rosemary Fisk has arranged to bring a large laminated map and markers so that we can identify key routes. She also has invited two geography professors from Samford University, who can provide their input and insight. Watch for follow-up email courtesy of the Samford group with an example of how Google Earth can be used to illustrate routes. I have spoken to Tom Maxwell (Regional Planning) about this. He and I will be meeting to review the routes. He is working on a “Complete Streets” initiative that potentially will incorporate our ideas. We need input from all areas of the region (Hoover, Mountain Brook, Homewood, Irondale, etc.). Please come and provide your input.
Plan to have dinner at the café (6:30pm), followed by a brief business meeting (6:45pm). Program will follow (7:00pm). The café closes at 7:30, so we must be out by 8:00 pm.

I have 2 bikes I would like to sale, and Steve Fair said I should forward you pictures and information because you had a large email list.
If you don’t mind forward this information to anyone you think would be interested. I have included my contact information below incase
someone is interested or needs more information. Thanks for your help.

I am sorry, I left out a little more information… They are only about 3 years old and in great shape, we barely rode them.
They both have lights as you can see, and we have several accessories that go with them. I am asking $600 for the GIANT
and $325 for the TREK.
Thanks again, Tommy

Hello fellow cyclists.
Faris Malki over at Cahaba Cycles provided me this mass email list.
I am a customer of Faris', living up in Jacksonville. Because of back, hip
and nerve damage problems, I am forced to curtain my cycling by about 90%.
No more century rides, no more big hill or mountains, no more 8,000 mile
years. I have decided there is no need to keep my stable of bikes if I am
not going to be able to ride them. I will keep my favorite, my Trek Madone
SSL, however will put the others up for sale.
I have been running them on Craig's List in
Atlanta. I have
received many emails regarding these bikes. However, some folks
there seem to think I will practically give these bikes away.
But, that is not going to happen. These are TOP quality carbon road
bikes. The one Cannondale aluminum bike was Cannondale's top aluminum
frame for that season. These are, as you experienced cyclist will know,
are not Wal Mart $600 type bikes. The pros ride these
frames. So, if you are interested, the info is below. I apologize if
I sound sort of snoody, but a lot of those folks from Craig's List
have emailed back after I sent the info too them with rather snotty
remarks. I just want folks to understand I am not going
to take $800 for one of these bikes. I will just continue to
advertise them until a serious rider comes along and still gets a top quality
bike at a discount.
So, here is all
the information:
All the bikes have the Shimano Flightdeck SC-6501
computers. All have the Shimano SPD peddles. All bikes have the
equipment bags under the seat with two spare tubes, air pump adapter, and the
thing you take the tire off with too change the flat tubes. All have a
pump attached too the bottle holders. All my bikes have Shimano Dura-Ace
shifters/brakes. All were up graded with the Bontrager carbon stems
within the past year. These stems are 6 or 12 degrees. I use the 12
because of my back problems. The stem can be flipped to the 6 degree and
lower ride. Those were $250 apiece. They have compact
50/36 & 12/27 crank, clog. My wife's bikes have
50/34 and 12/27 clogs. Her Synapse is the same type
as mine. The Cannondale 5000 has the Ultegra
shifters/brakes.
None have ever been on
the ground, no crashes. Has minor use scratches as would be expected, but
nothing you can just stand there and point too. You have to really look
too even see the minor ones. The Orca photo has orange bar tape, but
I have black tape on it now. It came with crummy American Classic wheel
set, but I bought Bontrager's and put those on instead of the AC's. The
bike is light as a feather. The Synapse and Trek have blue tires. The R3
has white. All maintained by my local Trek dealer in
Anniston with tuneups, etc. If interested, please feel free to
contact me via email for any questions. Faris can verify that I am real
and this is not a scam. He sold me the Cervelo R3. Thanks in advance
for your interest.
Here is
the info re sale:
Trek Madone 5.9, size 56: A 2004 model bike that I purchased in
2007 brand new. Found it advertised by a Chicago area Trek dealer on the
Internet. Since Trek does not allow Internet sales, my local dealer
contacted him, purchased it, then sold it too me. I put the Bontrager
carbon wheel set on it. The wheel set cost $1,350. Bike cost:
$4,999.99. I will sell it for $3,800.
Cervelo R3, size 56: A 2006 model,
purchased in 2007. Cost: $4,500. Sale: $3,000.
Same bike as pro team CSC rides. This is an excellent riding bike.
Very stiff bottom bracket. Can read about it on the Cervelo web
site. (I have an offer on this bike. I am waiting on the guy
to determine if he can come up with the cash. If not, then I will put it
back up for sale)
Orbea Orca, size 57: A 2005 model purchased in 2005.
Cost: $4,350. Upgraded with Bontrager wheel set as well as the stems
mentioned above. Sale: $2,500. Same bike as pro Spanish
team Euskaltel-Euskadi rides. Orbea updated the Orca model this
year. If you look at the Orbea web site for the Orca you will see how
different the look of the frame is now.
Cannondale Synapse, size 56: A 2005
model purchased in 2005. Cost: $4,400. Sale:
$2,500. This was Cannondale's first full carbon bike. They have
really changed the Synapse now and have different levels of the quality of the
carbon, thus different prices.
My wife's Cannondale Synapse, size 47: A 2005 model purchased in
2006. Cost: $4,400. Sale: $2,500.
My wife's Cannondale 5000, size 48: A
2005 model purchased in 2005. Cost: $2,300. Sale:
$1,200.
