Summer Tour Cancelled The 2010 Summer Tour has been cancelled. A lack of lodging at the right times in the areas selected for the tour made it impossible to schedule a reasonable itnerary.

TCBC Forum Discontinued You probably haven't noticed until this mention, but the TCBC Forum has been removed. The last post was August, 2009. Up to that point, there were only 41 total posts during the life of the forum. TCBC members seem to be far more active on Facebook, which has a TCBC page. Saddest to see the demise of the TCBC Forum will be the legions of Eastern European hackers and 'bots, who made an average of 3000 attempts per month to access the forum, which was open only to TCBC members.

U.S. Bicycle Route System: Build it. Bike it. Be a part of it! Donate $10 today to support the creation of a national network of bicycle routes: the U.S. Bicycle Route System (USBRS), a visionary project that will be similar to the national and international systems blossoming across the globe, such as Euro Vélo. The routes will connect cyclists across the U.S. with cities, transportation hubs, scenic and historic destinations through existing (and new) infrastructure; routes will be numbered and officially recognized by state and federal government agencies. Your donation is tax deductible. Learn more about the U.S. Bicycle Route System and donate $10 today on its Change.org page (no login required): http://www.adventurecycling.org/usbrsdonate You can also donate to the campaign through Facebook’s Causes application: http://www.causes.com/causes/419721 Want to help spread the word about this campaign?
