Welcome to FundyExtreme.com

Hello Extremers,

I wanted to take the opportunity to welcome you to our new website. After much deliberation and work, you are seeing the finished product. It’s quite impressive, and all of the options you loved so much are still available. We have just decided to expand for better adaptability to give you, our valued member better services and more options to help you with your training.

Now that the new year is upon us, it's time to pay your membership fees. In a month or two, you will only be able to access many of these wonderful options once you are a paid member (you can pay at home right now-for the first time!). Your membership will last 1 year. The funds will be used to finance the maintenance of our website, and to provide some of the funding for the Rockwood race which we are organizing.

If you are planning on doing the Rockwood race in August, we are looking for your support. The race has been scheduled for August 12, and will include MANY upgrades, including child care, special hotel rates, a cafĂ© for spectators, volunteer draw prizes, cash prizes for winners, excellent prizes for age groupers, and a full “multi-sport market” for all those who may be interested in seeing what this sport is all about. We will be using some of our race fees to raise money for Multi-sport Junior Development in the province, so this race is not for profit. It will be a national class event. See www.fundyextreme.com/rockwood for details.

Finally, we hope you enjoy the new site, and support our club. Keep checking daily for updates, as we will be posting many news items in the coming months in preparation for the new season. We will be having a club meeting in three weeks on Sunday, February 10, at 6pm. Bring food, as it will be a pseudo-potluck. Contact Bikes and Beans for details. If you would like to come, we would LOVE to have you. We will be selecting our executive for the year, as well as going over our long overdue initiatives for the coming season. If you are coming, please bring a pen and paper.

Thanks,

Mark McGraw
President
