	NEMBA, Feb. 1992
	New England Mountain Bike Association
	Vol.3, No.1

	   Since NEMBA's founding in 1989, a very small group of people
	have done a very large amount of work. The list includes Sue Lee,
	Bill Boles, Joe Sloane, Andy Coffin, Brian McKeller, Greg Cliff -
	(and Ashley -ed)  In and around every job that these people have
	done has been Heidi Davis picking up the pieces, & keeping NEMBA
	together. It's time to add more people to the list so that the
	core group will have some time to ride.

	   We have created a list of highly *prestigious*, wildly *fun*,
	unbelievably interesting, yet not very time consuming, volunteer
	positions.  Some of these spots are currently filled, but the
	person involved may need a break. If you see a job on the list
	which you want to do, please come to a meeting at:

	MERLIN METALWORKS  (YES, you CAN tour the plant if ya' want)
	285 Washington St. (If you own a Merlin, this would be special)
	Somerville, MA

	Thursday, Feb. 27, at 6:00 pm. (tonight)
	617-628-7855 for directions

	If you can't make this meeting, call Heidi or Greg at 617-497-6891.

    	BIKE SHORTS  February 1992  Vol.3 No.1
    	-----------  -------------  ----------
    	The first on-road, off-road century was held by NEMBA memba's
    	on September 29th, 1991.
    
    	This route travelled from the Middlesex Fells to Rockport, MA -
    	by linking numerous off-road sections with short road sections.
    
    	The ride started at the Sheepfold parking lot, and went on through
    	Breakhart Reservation in Saugus, the Lynn Woods, a powerline ease-
    	ment through Danvers and Peabody, Beverly Rocks, Manchester Woods,
    	Ravenswood in Gloucester, and then through Dogtown to Bearskin Neck
    	in Rockport.
    
    	Out of 9 starters, 6 (including 1 woman) completed the entire 100
    	miles. One intrepid beginner was coaxed onto the train in Rockport.
    	Survivors completed the trip in complete darkness around 9:00 pm.
    
    	The highpoint of the trip though, was the "registration packets"
    	prepared by Ridemaster Brian McKeller, which included a map with
    	marked route, power bar, and a change of socks!
