There are 3 photos and a short article in today's Herald News - page A3 - "Good Dirty Fun." I was unable to find a link to the article from their website, www.heraldnewsonline.com. If anyone who's more computer-literate than I can get it posted...  |

Yes, i did. The total cost of the park was $115,000. This figure comes from donations, volunteer hours, and actual expenses.

It's not just Kevin getting the media spot light, there was a nice picture of Rowan in that last link.

It's kinda funny how they keep refering to the park as a "track". But it is great to get the POSITIVE publicity.

I know... that bike deserved better, but noone wanted to buy it, so I did what I had to do.

Be careful the FPD might send someone to remove that log.  It looks like it already injured one rider.  |
