"I'll do it," Linda offered. "I'll coordinate the litter pick-up."

Thanks to Bill and Kathy Cone the Twinriverscyclists have adopted a two mile stretch of Tammany from Dippel road to Barr. Twice each year we gather to pick up trash and try for an after event bike ride. Learn more about our Adopt a Road program at http://twinriverscyclists.org/Events/Adopt/adopt.htm

Linda reallly did all the planning and arrangements with the road department last spring, but guess what retirement gets you? Yep, a closer relationship with the Nez Perce County Road department.

Mike and Nicky have been no shows at Sunday rides in October. Yard work and help son, Sean, with his new house. They broke away not only for the pickup but for a ride around Lewiston Loop on the tandem.

Poor Bill had no idea what he was in for. Back in town from Alaska, Helen wasn't up on the calendar and called to ask about our 1 pm start. She was pretty much stuck at that point and so was Bill.

Doug's the new guy on the bike and has the chain ring tatt to prove it. He's a bit gung ho. Showed up for a night ride in the rain last Tuesday. That's okay, Doug. Steve would've been there too.

Wrong Way Whitely was very confused. See he usually rides Lewiston Loop counterclockwise. We made him go the right way and he had to make three stabs at getting up Lindsay Creek before we called it good. Of course he rode down McIntosh and then back up. He looked so natural riding against the group's direction!

The sun had tried to shine about noon but the wind came up and made the pick-up a bit chilly. Linda said she'd just ride home from Dippel Road but when the sun came out she headed on around. We got to ride in late afternoon sunshine--beautiful.

Thanks everyone for pitching in. It looked a little sparse at first be we had just enough to thoroughly cover the two miles in just one and half hours.
