Alterra Coffee Bean Classic and The Rock

RockBMXWorking the panorama feature on Windows I put together a few photos. Here is the BMX Track at The Rock. At the monthly meeting I was told there would be an event this Saturday but the only BMX event on the Rock events page is for next week Saturday. That’s some track.

RockMTBFor Sundays Alterra Coffee Bean Classic, after starting at the bottom of the hill making a left turn at the top, this is the lead out.

RockMTB2Or perhaps this picture is more revealing.

RockMTB2Maybe a crop makes it clearer.

DSCN3981The Citizen and Sport classes will reaching new heights, higher elevations than in the past from what I understood. I went to the Wednesday night race. Thought I might help out with something but they didn’t want my help. They had over 100 participants. About double the usual as people wanted a dry run for Sunday though the Alpha Trail portion was closed; too wet.

RockBBThe original driving concept for The Rock was a baseball park. Here is another panorama shot of some of the fields. Note the rail and chair in the foreground. They have an umbrella bar with massive patio. A waterfall and outdoor fireplace are a few of the amenities. It certainly has a great view of these fields. They still have a lot of work but when this place is complete, and the landscaping is done, I can see from what they have completed so far that the whole site will be very green and attractive.

Yes, we have a second car. I will again be much more involved in helping the mountain bike cause. Fitness and writing and other creative endeavors are dominating my days otherwise. It’s a pleasure to support without compensation the works of all hard working people investing in our community and pursuing their dreams.

Good luck! to all those racing Sunday.

The $26 question (see Charity Jackpot page in side bar); What type of peach tree do we have in our back yard?
