2009 Updates!

Well, the mountain biking season has wound down to a close, at least until the snow flies and we open the trails back up for winter riding.

Last meeting we had the MOCA board elections. The results of these elections where as follows.

Elected roles:

- President: Matt Moore
- Vice President: Charles Chenvert
- Secretary: Steef Mansfield
- Trail Stewards: mara larson and Shad Holland
- Chapter Representatives: mara larson and Shad Holland

Appointed Roles:

- Minister of Propaganda: Justin Kalemkiarian
- Captain Huck: Jake Wittenberg
- Master of Acquisitions: Chuck Chenvert
- RockStar!: Dave Jones

Amanda Scholz has become a regular at trailwork and has also been getting involved in a lot of administrative work, including making it to all of the MOCA board meetings, so she was appointed to the board a bit later in the summer.

Section 6 has come along way since the crew was able to get back on track after the Luce Line went in. The downhill rock armor is complete and the climbing turn is almost completed.

On Oct 22nd the MOCA crew raked the entire trail before the winter sets in. Also, the orange fencing was put up to close the trail during this wet period before the temps drop and the ground freezes. The fences will come down once the ground is frozen solid and the temps stay low enough to keep the trails frozen. Once we get significant snowcover, the trails are usually good to go for some snowshoeing and mountain biking.

We look forward to a great 2010 season! Thanks to all who support MOCA and those who take the extra time getting involved in making the organization a great success!
