Update 1JASON LUMMIS
As many of you know by now, Jason was struck by a hit and run driver this past week while riding home from work and left lying by the side of the road with massive injuries . It was a despicable and unconscionable act, but let's hope the person who did this is currently in fear of apprehension every breathing moment. I do hope they catch the creep.
Most of all, I hope Jason heals quickly.
In the mean time, Jason's family has to deal with the high cost of medical care. A fund has been set up at Lake Trust Credit Union in Brighton to help them with this. If it's within your means, please help with a donation.

Update 2DIRTY CRITTY BRUNCH RACE (DCBR)
Ironically, Jason is a major presence at this race each year. His leg cranking will be missed by everyone who likes a good spirited race.
In the meantime the race will go on. It's always one of the highlights of the year. It's put on by Ben and Wendy Caldwell, who really know how to make the most of their dirt road neighborhood. Plus, it's free--and there are prizes! Lots of them.
It's also a pot luck and as much a social event as a bike race. After the racing's done, there's plenty of good food and beverages. Bring a dish to pass.
Also, bring a non-perishable donation for Food Gatherers.
September 6 (Labor Day) · 9:00am - 3:00pm at the Caldwell Estate.
