Cyclist riding across US Posted Thursday, October 30, 2008 by Jim Britt
About 20 ABC members met with Chris Figureida on his layover in Little Rock and listened to his very interesting presentation on his last ride across the US. He talked at some local elementary schools and was headed down to McGehee and Mississippi after leaving Little Rock. Some of us met him in Mayflower and rode with him to LR. He seemed to enjoy going over the Big Dam Bridge before arriving at the American Heart Association office on 2nd Street, LR. He is riding to raise money for them and Rotary International and for fitness awareness. We raised $130 for the AHA. You can track his progress to Key West Florida and learn more about him at http://www.cycleforheart.org/

October meeting Oct. 9, and Arky news Posted Monday, October 6, 2008 by Jim Britt
We drove the Arky course Sunday and the roads lookd great and the countryside is green and beautiful. I didn't see the pot hole from last year after rest stop #4. I can't promise it wasn't there somewhere, but there were some road patches and I believe the highway department took care of it. A stretch of the road out of Sheridan and been resurfaced a few weeks ago but there is absolutely no loose gravel on it and it is good to great and you wouldn't know that they hadn't re-surfaced it a year ago.
Come to the meeting Thursday to register for the Arky or pick up your packets. You can also register Sunday at 7:00 to 8:00 AM at the Arky. We will also have a reprentative at from Arkansas Federal Credit Union at the meeting to briefly discuss its benefits. All ABC members are now eligible to join AFCU.
