Keith -
Your offer to volunteer at the cemetery is greatly appreciated, but not
really necessary. Union regulations, OSHA requirements and worker's
comp issues make it almost impossible to utilize volunteer labor. (What
a wonderful world we have created, but that's a whole different topic!)
But even your willingness to do something tangible speaks volumes. Thank
you.
Sincerely,
David Noble

I would be the first to step up and volunteer to work an afternoon at
the cemetery as a way to mend fences with the crew and owner(s). Actions
speak louder than words.

Jeff,
Thanks for the heads up on this (and thanks for talking with me this
morning). I've posted something on my site to help spread the word and
I also forwarded this to another bike community email list (Shift).
Here's my story.

(btw, if you'd like your comments to be seen by a larger part of the
community than the OBRA list I encourage you to leave them on my site).
Thanks.

> Good morning everyone,
> I just wanted to post a message about riding in Riverview Cemetery.
> For those of you that don't know this is a very popular route from the

> there has been talk of stopping the cyclists from riding this route,
> this would be a blow to hundreds of cyclists that commute and train in

> office, the maintenance shop on the back side and several other areas
> that have sharp turns and people cutting corners and almost hitting

> I would hate to see us loose the privledge of using these roads, they
