Local Business Shout-Out!
We at Dieselbikes occasionally need to give a local business shout-out to companies that contribute and or support our club’s efforts. With that said, we need to give a shout-out to Cape Ann Brewing Company located at 27 Commercial Street Gloucester, MA 01930. Cape Ann Brewing happily donated a few cases of delicious beer to Dieselbikes and Sinister Bikes to help quench our thirst during a difficult day out on the trails...
Local Mountain Biker Injured!
We all have crashed from time to time, but we don't let ourselves dwell on what a really bad accident might entail...Like, "What if I don't walk away?" Well, someone we know and you may know as well is having to think about it. On September 20th, Matt Kapolka of Somerville, MA, a Dieselbikes rider, regular at ImprovBoston, and Abbot BeMex from last years "Wheels of Fury" had a mountain bike accident resulting in a severe head injury. Matt is making progress everyday in recovering his physical and mental faculties but the recovery and rehabilitation will take months. We at Dieselbikes have begun a fund raiser to assist Matt financially during this difficult period. We are asking for monetary donations from the local community. We all realize how inherently dangerous our sport is. Now one of our own is down and we need support him at this difficult time.
Donations of any amount would be gratefully accepted to assist Matt through the next couple of months while he attends rehab. His family and friends are doing their best, but his limited medical insurance will not cover all expenses. This is a serious matter and we would not be asking for help from the community unless it was necessary!
2008 Halloween Event
Re-Cap!
Our first ever Spooktacular Halloween Mountain Bike Festival was a complete SUCCESS! On Saturday October 25th, Dieselbikes was happy to host a Halloween event in Lynn Woods Reservation; Lynn, MA. This event was the testing ground for many new operations we will be employing in future events. The weather was great with cool temperatures and cloud cover making it perfect for mountain biking in the woods...
