UCI Bike Events

Folks,

As the aircraft buzz overhead, you may or may not be aware that there has been some debate and controversy regarding the lack of crowds for the Richmond 2015 UCI bike race.

Without getting too far into it, let me just say that while I have been very critical of City projects and chasing tourist dollars, you notice that I have not taken aim at Richmond2015 as much because I am hoping it will lead to better bicycle infrastuctrure and culture in the long term.

Regardless, now is a good time to get out there and enjoy this international event.

Neighborhood restaurant Dinamo has a big welcome:

Also, neighbor Holt Edmunds asked me to make sure people know about this freebie Thursday night, which is for anyone volunteering for the races or biking to the Poe Museum.
He volunteers at the museum and says the bike race has hurt visitation (a bit counter-intuitive). He hopes fellow Oregon Hill residents might want to take advantage of this.

Thanks,
Scott

OHNA Meeting Tomorrow Night

From email:

OHNA (ed.- Oregon Hill Neighborhood Association) will be unable to meet at WBCH for the foreseeable future, due to the fact that WBCH no longer has the staff available to open the building in the evenings.

Our next OHNA meeting will be held at the Pine Street Baptist Church at the corner of Pine and Albemarle at 7 pm on Tuesday, September 22nd. Enter the building at the door on Albemarle Street. Take the first hallway on the left to the meeting room.

Thanks
Jennifer
