Letter from AOA’s President

  • Thanks, blah blah blah

Susie Cherubini, Madame President

  • 12/31/2021
  • Hi Everyone,
  • I want to thank the board for being very supportive to myself and the club as a whole. To the trail stewards and trail volunteers, wow what a year with trees down and rain to add to our erosion problems. You all did an incredible job getting ready for the events held at all 3 trail systems.
  • Members , thank you so much for your support with your annual membership to AOA, volunteering , and supporting our events, like the Dillon Rocks OMBC race, the AOA/COMBO Wilds Falldown Funduro, the beginner skills session/rides and our gravel rides throughout the year.
  • Please share our Website, Facebook or Instagram with family and friends. Also, don’t hesitate to contact me with any concerns, questions or ideas for the future of AOA.
  • Live, Love, Ride
  • Susie Cherubini
