The article ran in the Free Press today. Check it out at http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2008807280327. I also have had a few concerns that we want to start a motocross track. Please help get the word out that this is bicycle motocross, not for dirt bikes. So far I have had some help in fielding these questions, so please keep passing the word that it's for bicycles.

Freep interview today

I had an interview with the Free Press today. Korie Wilkins is going to try to get an article out in the paper this weekend. Once it runs, I will put post a link. I also had an interview with Lindsey Smith for WHMI 93.5 the other day. Overall, the response has been positive.

The word is getting out!

The South Lyon Herald is out with an article about our efforts to start a track (http://www.hometownlife.com/). Thanks to Nathan for writing such a great article! There are also links on the following sites: http://www.mibmx.com/, http://www.waterfordoaksbmx.com/, and http://www.lyontwp.org/. Oh, and a link is on John Hicks' website. He's running for Lyon Township Trustee and is on our Park Advisory Committee. Here's a shout out to everyone who is posting or sending the link.

I had a friend ask me today what we really need in order for this to happen, and I told him that we need people willing to be a part of the organization running the track. Parents, BMXers, shop owners, community leaders--they can all help. I am working on getting the word out to the schools in South Lyon and Walled Lake in September--it would be exciting to see each school have a team. I also plan to go to churches, scout troops, and any group of kids on the street to promote this idea. If you're interested in helping, please email me. www.liseblades@gmail.com. I'm shooting for a community informational meeting in August.

I was thinking of using this logo on some white t-shirts and flyers. Any comments?

Let's get started...

I made a presentation to the Township Board on Monday, and they all seemed interested in starting a track in New Hudson. Now we have to find people who want to ride and parents who want to be part of the organization to run the track. Feel free to comment here and complete one of the online surveys (links above). Email your friends to let them know what's going on, tell your local bike shop what we're doing, and look for an article in the South Lyon Herald next week.
