2007 Goals - Here are the goals SORBA Woodstock has for the following year:

1) Derek Boyd will continue the success as Ride coordinator and set up a ride calendar full of various club group rides.

2) Josh Boggs with be Events Coordinator and help out with Pedalpalooza and a possible fall festival at Reinhardt

3) Acquire approval of the Blankets Creek Master Plan. The MP is currently at COE in Mobile under review. Tentative approval is end of year/beginning of next year.

4) Complete a MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) with Cherokee County Recreation and Parks (CRPA). Looking to complete the MOU ar the same time as MP signoff.

5) Build more trails! January time frame to start new construction (pending MP signoff and completion of CRPA MOU). We will build out the Mosquito Flats extension, then the northern loop. Tentative completion date for both trails is Fall 2007 if the club can raise enough money for professional trail builder to complete the machine work and have volunteers do the finishing work.

Reinhardt update - Steve from Reinhardt attended the meeting. They are building a beginner warm up and need our help for armoring a creek crossing. Work party is scheduled on Dec 9th to help out. Scott informed us that the school VP is very interested in creating a MOU. Scott is looking into possible events/racing.

Cherokee High School Bike Club -Stephanie asked members if anyone had any trainers they would like to donate to the club for winter training. It would be extremely helpful
