John Lefler Jr. of the Flatwater Cycling Team and I met with Dave Allder from Lincoln Parks and Rec last week, and everybody is stoked about the great participation we had during the 2011 'cross season. Thanks to all who came out and rode the Van Dorn course and participated in the Flatwater Cycling-hosted races at Van Dorn Park.

Per our agreement with Parks and Rec, I recently re-seeded portions of the park that saw significant wear during the 2011 season, and the course is now closed until training starts for next 'cross season in August. We will be developing a new course for next season and have some exciting announcements coming about the future of dirt trails in Van Dorn Park coming soon as well. So, in the meantime, if you would, please keep off the old course so that it can heal and shift your use over to established trails such as Wilderness Park, Branched Oak, or Wagontrain.

Thanks again, and see you out on the trail.

Cheers,

MG
