Kisk the Silver Comet Cat Passed Away
I am sad to report that Kisk the Silver Comet Cat has had to be humanely put down because of a sudden medical problem. Kisk was a “trap and release” cat that was cared for by a local family. He hung out around mile 5.6 on the Silver Comet. Kisk owned this part of the trail and could often be seen laying down or sitting surveying his domain. He was almost always up for a head scratch. Details and memories can be see in the Silver Comet Facebook group.

MTB Trail for Adaptive Shredders (aMTB=adaptive MTB. I learned this, too!)
From Bham Now (note: Birmingham, AL)

“A Birmingham-area volunteer group is working to make Alabama’s natural beauty more accessible than ever. 

BUMP, a non-profit focused on building and maintaining mountain biking trails in the Birmingham area, is constructing one of the first hiking trails in the Southeast built specifically to accommodate adaptive bikes, bicycles that have been modified to meet the needs of riders with a disability or mobility issue.

“There’s been some developments in adaptive bikes, and now, since the equipment is available, the riders are becoming more plentiful.

We believe we can build an entire network of trails of varying difficulty that will serve both adaptive and traditional mountain bikers.”Chase Draper, President, BUMP” Read the full article.

It’s a slow week for news. Don’t forget to pre-order your Southeastern Cycling tshirt to be mailed out shortly after Dec. 9! I’m working on updating all of the calendars with 2025 dates I have. Mountain biking/Gravel is done. I’ll work on Road this week. I don’t anticipate too many road dates yet. They usually come together in late Feb./early March. MTB & Gravel put their dates out much earlier and have for about the last 2 decades. CX is still ongoing, so it’s still 2024 for us racing it!
