 GROC mourns the tragic and sudden loss of Elliott Eklund from a snowboarding accident that ocurred at Bristol Mountain on Wednesday evening, February 16th. Elliott was admired and loved by those who got to know him as a great husband, father and friend. Many of us had the honor of knowing him through riding and we enjoyed also his generous and cheerful nature as he volunteered for GROC on trails and other activities. He loved spending time with his sons, Ansel, Matthias, Rigel, his daughter, Maren, and his wife, Marla. The 2010 Fat Tire Festival will be dedicated to Elliott in memory of all the effort and support that he and his family have given to the mountain biking community, and their countless hours of volunteer work at Dryer Road Park and OCP. Address of family: Mrs. Marla Eklund 34 Jackson Road Extension Penfield, NY 14526 We will pass on details as we learn of them in regards to any calling hours and funeral arrangements. Please keep his family in your hearts and minds while they deal with this tragedy.

PUBLIC INPUT Greece Canal Park Master Plan Update |
|
Written by Jonathan Brown

Opportunity for mountain biking on the west side of Monroe County.
Since the County is asking for public comments on the “improvements” to this park, anyone who would like to see shared-use trails developed for mountain biking should get involved. This is a similar situation to the Ellison Master Plan, in that we as interested citizens were able to get mountain biking approved for Tryon and Bay Park West as part of the project. I see no reason why Greece Canal Park shouldn’t get the same evaluation. It will require interest and dedication by those who wish to fight for their rights to access to the park for this legitimate activity.
