Olympia Update.

Monday the 9th I had a meeting with city of Olympia Parks and Recreation Department. Johnathan Turlove set up the meeting for me. The purpose was for me to answer questions that Olympia had about what would a bike park look like? Who would use it? How would it be maintained? We went threw many scenarios ranging from an ABA or NBL track to a mountain bike freeride area to cyclocross or velodrome type riding. The city intern gave me advise on what type of information the club needs to gather to show the viability of a bike park, how to work within the guidelines of a city feasibility plan. They also let me know what needs to happen to get a bike park ideal integrated into the current review and issuing of Olympia's long term parks plan. Over all it was a very productive meeting. Olympia Parks knows a desire from many groups exist for more bike related facilities and activities and want to respond. It's up to us to provide the information and help need to make it happen.
