Board member passes away unexpectedly - Tyler Nelson
by Jonathan Rosenbaum 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

The Board of Positive Spin deeply regrets to inform you of the sudden passing of Board member Tyler Nelson this Saturday, September 27. He was voted in as a director at our recent June 28 Annual Meeting and 10th Anniversary Celebration. In the attached photo he is shown standing at the celebration with two of Positive Spin's founders, Jon Lozier and Will Ravenscroft. In 2005 Tyler was a motivating factor in starting Positive Spin for its third founder, Nick Hein, after Nick helped the 10-year-old fix his bike.

Bike to school help - Mountainview 9/11 or 9/14/15

05 Sep '15

Sorry for cross postings. Christiaan ------ I'm organizing a ride of 1st-5th graders from my bus stop to Mountainview ES next Friday (9/11/15) or the following Monday (9/14/15) depending on weather, interest, and availability of kids and adults. I know we definitely have 3 kids interested and able. Here are the particulars of the route that I practiced with my 1st grade son: 2.33 miles Duration: 24:24 Pace: 10.5 min/mi http://www.mapmyfitness.com/ workout/1145337615 I know I have at least 2 parents that will ride with & help lead and follow. We definitely need two more to help with potential mechanical issues, and as we cross Dorsey (twice) and lift bikes over a set of small poles in one person's side yard that are in the public right-of-way very near Marjorie Gardens. We'll meet at 7:45am on Wagner Road near the intersection with Simpson Street to do a quick briefing about ride safety and talk about the route. I can lead that since I "speak kid language." We'd need to leave by 8:00 to allow for an 8:30 arrival (buffer of 10 minutes or so before school starts). I do NOT plan to let the teachers, bus driver, or school administrators know until the day prior. This is just a test to see if we can/should encourage more kids to join us. Please email me with advice and/or to help on the day of - cabildso(a)yahoo.com. Thanks! Christiaan Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android groups.google.com/d/opto
