Meeting Minutes 14th of Feb.

Hey everyone!

ASU cycling crit is this weekend! We have Cedric coordinating how we are getting up there and if you have paid the race team, Cedric will register you. He will be creating a google doc spreadsheet to organize who is going, and what is going to happen this weekend.

UofA crit is the weekend after ASU. Please watch your e-mails for volunteer schedules/meeting/ect. We will be paying your entry fee in exchange for volunteer hours. So again, keep your eyes/ears on the lookout for e-mails with more detail for this.

If you raced last weekend, you will be comped at the next meeting. We will be covering your race entry fee if you have paid the race team membership. You will only be reimbursed the fee of the race, if you have a late fee that will be covered by you.

Finally our next meeting will be February 28th in the Northern Conference Room at 6.30pm. Hope to see you all there!!

PAG Bike Count Volunteers Needed!

The PAG Annual Bike Counts are approaching. Over 100 intersections are counted from Oct. 19-21 from 7am-9am and 4pm-6pm. The counts are used document the number of people out biking, and this data gathered over time is used to provide trends on bike use in Tucson. Also, the data helps prioritize and justify bicycle facility improvements.

The effort is entirely volunteer driven--so we need you! The minimum time commitment is 2 hours, although 4 hours of volunteer time allows you to cover an entire intersection. To volunteer, you must attend one of two upcoming training sessions. At the training sessions, you sign up for a counting location and receive your recording materials. The sessions are:

• Thursday, October 14, 6:00pm, Ward VI Office (3202 E 1st St.)
• Saturday, Octover 16, 9:00am, Ward VI Office

The UA Cycling Club members have helped out the past two years, and are volunteering again in 2010. We are having our regular club meeting this Thursday (Oct 14), at the bike count training session. Afterwards, we are meeting for dinner at La Salsa on Speedway. Please join us if you'd like!

If you have questions related to the count, please contact Ann Chanecka (achanecka@pagnet.org).

Bike Ambassadors Job Opportunity

Hello,

The Pima County Bike Ambassadors are looking to hire some students to help with bike education & outreach efforts on campus. The pay is $8/hr if you are under 18, and $10/hr if you're older. Currently, they are looking for students to work the following days/time:

Thursday (9-16): 8:30am-11:30am and/or 1:30-3:30pm (they'd like 2 students per shift)
Monday (9-20): 8:30am-11:30am and/or 1:30-3:30pm

The work would involve handing out Tucson-Pima bike maps, Share the Road guides, and talking with bikers and pedestrians about biking on campus (and being courteous and safe). The locations would be set on or near campus. There are also additional opportunities to work if you find this is something you enjoy.

The one requirement is that you take a bike safety class taught by a LAB (League of American Bicyclists) certified instructor within the next month. You can find the class schedule here: http://bikeped.pima.gov/Safety/SeptOct%202010%20Road%201%20Schedule.pdf

I know this is a last minute notice, but it's an opportunity for some very flexible work that encourages biking in Tucson. Also, let me know if you're interested even if you can't work the shifts above--there will be other opportunities.

Please e-mail me if you're interested.
