I just made up these "events" off to top of my head. These were the
best ideas I could come up with in 30 seconds. I'd be happy to work
with others to help make events like these and others into REAL
events. Do we want to start/restart Bike Winter Madison?

Are these events that are already organized? Are you planning on
attending? If the answer to either question is yes, then it would
be great if you would list them on Winter Bike's site. If not,
perhaps someone else wants to pick up the ball and roll with it??

No, just my recommendations. I'm not sure I'm in any position of
authority to pronounce an event.

Frank,
Did you list these 2 events on the Bikewinter site? I'm thinking
the webmaster might heed a "critical mass" of listings.

New Years Day Ride. 1pm at the capitol. Capitol City Trail loop
if
conditions permit, otherwise Monona Lake Loop (short) or Paoli and
back (long).
Frozen Lake Ride for Studs, 1pm, Tenney Park date TBA. Ride around
the shoreline of Monona or across Mendota. There's got to be a
good
cafe or bar to ride to somewhere in Middleton, right? Studded
tires
or football padding recommended.

I wrote in to ask why Madison doesn't appear on the Calendar drop-
down menu on the BikeWinter site http://bikewinter.org/
Here is the reply I got from the Webmaster.
"The reason we're not displaying Madison and Ann Arbor in the
calendar drop-down menu is that there hasn't been anyone from
those
cities who have stepped forward to plan events in those cities.
If
someone from Madison/Ann Arbor (or any other city for that matter)
came forward w/ some events, we'd gladly (re-)add them to the
calendar dropdown. You're in Madison, right? Are there other
winter bike things going on there for BW 2009?"
I reassured him that if Madison were re-listed we would step up
and
plan/list events. So now it's on us. I already "listed" WAAM's
call-in show. It's fun and easy to list an event. Anyone?
Bueller?
