K. Just passing this on. 

1) a friend of a friend sent me an email about the first ever Grand Canyon marathon.  I believe its Nov.15 - so our group is out, but pass it on to any runners you know.  I think the site is www.grandcanyonmarathon.com

2) Mesa is conducting an online survey of bicyclists - they want input of what areas need bike paths.  The article was in Sun. Trib and I believe the survey closes the end of the month.  Of course, the article didn't give the survey site, but its something to check out and give input.  AND, it you do, would you PLEASE indicate the need for the bike path to go all the way to Meridian on Brown  

I found the site - but no survey.  Hmmm.

Will email them and see what's up.

Thanks.  I emailed city of Mesa but have not heard back yet.  Hmmm, go figure.

Wow that does sound cool, thanks for the link!  Unfortunately, I'll be there in a couple weeks so November is out for me.  Actually, an even cooler race would be through the Canyon itself!

My hiking group has a Rim to Rim planned the end of Sept.  I am still debating on if I can do it all in one day but would love to give it a try - I suppose I would EVENTUALLY clammer out!

You can do it!  Isn't the record some insane time like around 5 hours, north to south?  Darn, if I were there a week or so later I'd love to go with you guys.

Yeah.  The guy who's organizing it is thinking he'll do it in 6 hrs.  I'm more like dawn to dusk.  We'll see as it gets closer whether or not I can make it in the time everyone is willing to wait.  Still, I'd love to do it.
