Calling all members: SCOPE is doing a Walk To Wellness program and we also need help to chart new MTB courses!
The SCOPE Diabetes / Obesity Core Team has organized an 8-week walking program designed to motivate people in the Socorro
area to get fit. It culminates with the April 16th 5K Run and 1-mile Walk. Help spread the word by printing out the
flyer and
registration paperwork.
For the mountain bikers, please stop by Spoke N Word Cycles to see how YOU can help
map out new and personal trails in the Gordy's (or Johnson') hill area! BLM needs our help in making
this a great biking area. They will provide GPS units and give you a map of what you charted. Also, take some time to
check out the Fat
Tire Trail Guide, an awesome resource on the current local trails!

White Sands Duathlon
Despite the expected nasty conditions, Robert, Matt, Addy, Sandy, Ephraim, and Rheda made the trek down to WSMR for the 5k/30K
