\nMost people are probably familiar with the venerable Kelly Blue Book, a price guide for used automobiles. Not surprisingly, some enterprising folks have endeavored to create the Bicycle Blue Book, which provides a guideline for pricing used bikes. The BBB is not nearly as thorough as the KBB, but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s still in the beta phase. Check out www.bicyclebluebook.com<\/p>\n

\nSaturday, September 28, 2013 – 08:30 – 12:00
\nJoin us and our friends from REI for a great opportunity to give the Lake Georgetown trail some love.National Public Lands Day (NPLD) is the nation’s largest, single-day volunteer effort for public lands including parks, trails, and green spaces. NPLD began nationally in 1994 with three sites and 700 volunteers. It proved to be a huge success and became a yearly tradition, typically held on the last Saturday in September. This project will have volunteers removing encroaching limbs, cleaning up the existing trail tread, and working on drainage improvements to slow down\/eliminate erosion issues.<\/p>\n
