Brion Hase will be riding a Saddle Sore 1000 on October 15th. This was something Jim Johnson originally signed up for, but due to scheduling conflict Jim cannot do it so Brion is going to pinch hit for him. It’s called the Jack Shoalmire Tribute Ride. Jack had a goal of riding a SS1000 in each of the 50 states and was nearly complete with that task when he passed away after a heart attack. There will be people riding SS1000’s in all 50 states on the 15th and they will be compiling photos and satellite tracks for Jack’s Family. Jim had signed up for the South Dakota in-state ride so we are going out through the Black Hills and back. It’s going to be a fun ride so if anyone is interested in riding with Brion, drop him a message. This does qualify as an Iron Butt ride and there is a discounted fee of $22 for the certificate and processing. http://www.nmpcs.com/Jacks_

Hawaii's Green Sand Beach
Posted by Unknown
If you don't have a 4x4 vehicle, you can walk to this beach from South Point. It is 3 miles each way, no shade, no facilities. Bring lots of water and your walking shoes. If you don't want to hike and still don't have a 4x4 vehicle, there are some very nice taxi drivers who will drop you at the beach for a fee.
We think it's great that so many people are discovering this unique and wonderful beach, but want to remind folks about a few things. Please don't remove the green sand from the beach. We know it is pretty and special, but if everyone takes some, there eventually won't be any left at all. Also, this area of the island is the site where the first Polynesians landed in Hawaii and is a very special place for the Hawaiian people.
Want to do something great for Hawaii that shows you really care about our lovely islands? Bring a bag with you when heading out for Green Sands and help pick up some of this trash.
Most of this trash washes in from the ocean, but since we all want to enjoy this beautiful coastline, why not help keep it beautiful?
Mahalo!
