We lost a great guy yesterday …. Steve Delay of SWD Racing passed away …. Steve was at all the CHDH’s encouraging and was always telling me that I was doing a good job even thought I was stressed out like crazy. I would look for him at the races for his positive words. He loved DH racing and was always down!!! I’ll always remember his quote ….

“Down like four flat tires” …

I’m going to miss him!

R.I.P Steve Delay

Message from one of his riders ….

Friends,

At 2:11pm today, February 25, 2008, Steve Delay owner and creator of SWD Racing passed away. He was with his family and friends and it was peaceful and gentle. Just a few days after preparing and delivering his 2008 factory riders their bikes, Steve entered the hospital in a coma. Steve loved downhill bikes and racing, he built SWD Racing because of that. He wasn’t looking to get rich he just had a passion for racing. One would always find him on the hill at any given race watching as every bike would come passed, very rarely was Steve found in the pits for most of his sales came on the hill. A simple man with a simple phrase, “win on Sunday sale on Monday”. He will be missed.

March 8th | 9:00am
Joaquin Miller Park

BTCEB will be hosting a Park Beautification Day & Volunteer BBQ in Joaquin Miller Park. Meet at 8:30 a.m.at the Ranger Station for coffee, pastries & orientation. Trail work starts promptly at 9 a.m. Stick around for fabulous BBQ in the Main Meadow immediately following! We hope to turn out a broad community of park users for a fun, rewarding day of trail work.

We’ll work on pulling invasive Broom, clearing out of drainage dips, re-armouring soft spots, and basically sprucing up this great park. Volunteers are critical to keeping these budget-crunched parks pristine and enjoyable. As you may now the JMP Trails Working Group is still developing a master plan for the park and it’s important that cyclists stay involved in the process and show our support in the park. JMP has the only legal singletrack in the East Bay and is a great example for multi-use on narrow trails, for all open space jurisdictions, with low conflict and accident-free trails. BTCEB will supply the tools. Bring gloves, water, and sturdy shoes. Heavy rain cancels. Please RSVP Caryn: ckralovansky@yahoo.com.

~Thanks to all the hard work from the Bicycle Trails Council of the East Bay~
