VII. 2005 GLENDALE FAMILY BIKE RIDE
Steve Hancock said that planning for the ride was going well. He said that registration flyers had
been printed and that he had copies for Committee members to distribute if they chose to. Steve
handed out a list of bicycle shops in Glendale and asked if any members could take flyers to some
of the shops. A number of members volunteered to take flyers to bike shops in their part of the
City. Betsy Turner said she would deliver flyers to the bike Den, Bikers Edge, Cycle Spectrum,
Gordy's and Southwest Bicycles. Bill Wilkinson said he would deliver flyers to Bike Sport, the
Main Library and the Senior Center. Jeff Reid said he would deliver flyers to Build-a-Bike. Steve
gave the volunteers packets of flyers and posters to be displayed in shop windows. Steve asked if
any members would be available to help out on the bike ride. All members present said they
would volunteer for the ride. Steve told them volunteers were needed at Sahuaro Ranch Park for
registration, helmet sales, t-shirt sales,and set-up. He said volunteers would need to be at the park
at 5:00 a.m. on April 17th to get set-up by the start of registration at 7:00 a.m. Steve said
volunteers were also needed at the third rest stop at 47th Ave. at the Arizona Canal. Michael
Wood said he could be at the third rest stop. When asked by Steve, Michael said that last year
they had more snacks and water than they needed and that the port-john was used by a number of
the riders. Steve said that he was having trouble finding a vendor for shaved ice. He thought this
problem was due to the relative size of our event, i.e., not enough potential customers. Steve
asked if any of last year's volunteers recalled the name of the shaved ice vendor at the ride. Betsy
Turner said she might have the name on file at her office.
VIII. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
Steve repeated that URS would be giving an update on bike and ped projects in the GO program.
The Glendale Family Bike Ride was also on the April agenda.

an area behind the hospital near Eugie and 59th Ave. Steve said he would take a look and see if
anything can be done to address the problem.
