Attached is the January-February mini edition of the TAB newsletter, The Seatcollar. Read all about Andy Carpenter’s account of the Rudolph Ride and see some pictures taken by our TAB photographer, Sue Richards. Linda Posadny contributed a great reminder about our upcoming TAB Banquet, held again this year at the Toledo Zoo on January 21st. Plan on joining Hubert at 9:00 am on that Saturday to ride from Monclova School to Sylvania for the annual Team Toledo Winter Expo. This is just one of the weekly Saturday winter rides Rick Metcalf has planned for the next few months.
And I know many of you have been biting your nails in suspense to learn this year’s winners of the Team Mileage Challenge. Let’s all say a big “thank you” to Ron Toneff for running this challenge again in 2011. It encouraged many of us to ride a little more days and a little more miles and added fun and excitement to the season.
The full March-April issue will be published at the end of February so please think about contributing to the next issue. Deadline is February 24th. As always, I welcome your feedback, suggestions and most of all - your articles and photos.
Happy New Year!

I hope you will enjoy this issue of the newsletter! The next full issue of The Seatpost will be out at the end of February with a deadline of February 22. As always, I'm looking for your help in selecting topics, contributing articles and photos, and keeping our newsletter interesting for our club membership.
We are forming a committee to work on the newsletter next year. Here’s a few ideas on how the work can be divided among several people:
Calendar and Listing of Events - Review previous year’s newsletter, Ohio-Michigan-Indiana annual bicycle calendars as well as local club information on weekly rides to compile the listing of events and create the monthly calendar. Local and Club News - Collect the president’s letter, board meeting notes and solicit contributions from other members on rides, accomplishments, member profiles and so on. Regular Column - Write a regular columns on topic of your choice such as training, nutrition, maintenance ...
Please contact me if you would like to volunteer. I promise it will be a fun experience that you will enjoy!

TAB members and beyond,
Attached is the August mini edition of the TAB newsletter, The Seatcollar. It's been a busy summer so far, but the best is still to come. This weekend is TAB's Pre-MARR event; it's a great chance to ride the MARR route over two days with your fellow club members. And there's free lunch for members both days! And then we host our club's main event -- the Mad Anthony River Rally -- the following Saturday. The next day, we have the Maumee Valley Wheelmen's Sylvania Cycling Classic -- a chance to experience racing right here at home.
The full September-October issue will be published at the end of August, so please think about contributing to the next issue. Deadline is August 22nd. I will have a busy schedule during August, so I'll really appreciate your early contributions. As always, I welcome your feedback, suggestions and most of all your articles and photos.
The Seatpost editor, Jacqueline Campbell

I'd like some assistance on the next few issues so we are looking for volunteer(s). As most of you know, I've loved editing the newsletter and have found it to be very fun and rewarding.
