Hey Tree Slappers,

Ya know what? WE’RE MOVING TO REDLAND M.S.!!! That’s what! Wanted to put it in all caps to see if you’re paying attention. Yup, it’s time for our Fall migration to our Winter Quarters as we call them. Time to break out and recharge your headlamps! Guess ya gotta find ‘em first! After a long hot Summer pounding the single track around Lake Needwood, we’ll be slapping our feetsies in the Forests of Redland until Springtime. Love these trails!

Oh, and to make up for the missed 2nd Tuesday of the month visit to the Outta The Way Café, we’ll be heading there tonight where Catherine will take care of our hungry/thirsty selves! Always a fun mingle!

Right, then. Let’s see how many of you show up to Needwood by accident!

OK, Announcements then details…
