Steve Shepherd reports that there is damage to the levee and power plant and Cook's Landing and north side of the BDB are expected to be closed for a few weeks. He suggests parking at DEQ if you want to start your ride there. 

We had a good turnout for the NLR trail cleanup on Tuesday. Another one is scheduled for Saturday, June 13 but the location is not yet set. The NLR River Trail should be open soon.

We had 4 riders putting Audubon decals on the storm drains, "drains to Fourche Creek" on Memorial Day. We got past 65th St. and used the new Coleman Creek Trail on the east side of University Ave., from 19th St. to UALR. It was very nice and has lights.

Susan Linck won the Prediction Ride by being only 25 seconds off of her estimate. She beat Ken Gould by 30 seconds even though Ken came was ahead of the pack and was just 1 minute off of his estimate.

JBar reports that a group of 4 riders dropped a set of keys in Burns Park Sunday afternoon. Here is the contact to get them claimed. This is another benefit of being with a riding organization.  Jeff Caplinger at NLR Parks at 501-791-8540 or jcaplinger@nlr.ar.gov

I have added a local registration/carpool link to some of the out of area and out of state rides. For example, if you wish to go on the Erie Canal Ride, let us know so we can go together. Sign up with the ride and register locally. Be sure to register for the BRAA too if you are interested so we have your name.

I have added the Member's STATE to the database. Members, fill in your phone number also when you log in and check your personal data and Emergency Contact info if you wish. Poke around let me know if you see any major glitches. Sometimes I have a setting on "Admin" instead of "Public."
