MESSAGE BY OUR GRAND MATTRESS

-Silence, pls. Welcome to stand up & take your hats off-

HHHello Hashers,
 
I am writing to say that I have been analysing different ways and the costs of going to Veracruz, the budget for the hotel and all the elements involved in making that special weekend unforgettable.  I have also consulted several hashers regarding their economic concerns when travelling outside the city, and how convenience affects the hope of achieving a high attendance rate for the celebration.  I have reached the conclusion that the best option is to hold this in Mexico City and not in Veracruz.  This will offer the possibility to those who wish to save the cost of travelling and hotels, that they can attend preferring to invest their funds in the dinners, breakfasts and events that are planned.  And those hashers & harriettes (like myself) who like to drink and not drive, enjoy partying all night etc., can in any case take a room in the hotel.  I hope I can count on all your support for this decision, by buying a registration package that will include all the events during the weekend, in exchange for not having to spend on travelling and staying at a hotel in Veracruz.
 
I shall shortly be sending a proposal of activities and costs, which I hope will be good, attractive and relatively cheap.
 
I am letting you know in advance that, for those who do want to travel with the Hash, they will have the chance.   From 16 to 19 January we are heading for Cozumel to hash with the Jolly Roger Pirate Hash from Miami (over 90 hashers are cuming) and possibly we shall officially inaugurate the Mayan Mahem Hash Kennel in Merida, Yucatan.  And in any case there will also be a January Hash in Mexico City.


NEWS from San Miguel de Allende H3

This is R. A., your GM from SMAH3!!
Hashers, did you know that SMA was named a Pueblo Mágico in 2002 & in 2008, was designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage?  EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY we will share, via this channel ALL upcoming Hash runs, events in this gorgeus area of Mexico. Stay tuned.
In the time being, an interesting newspaper article about two friends of mine who I have Hashed with in Colorado several years ago. I also worked with Neal Taylor years ago when we both had jobs in the Hi-Tech industry. He and his wife, Teresa, are hardcore runners and fine folk, even though they do not drink.

The Hardrock 100 Endurance Run

Jon Teisher crossed a snowfield while climbing Oscar’s Pass during the Hardrock 100 Endurance Race in the San Juan Mountains on July 11.
THE GAZETTE
SILVERTON - The instructions for the Hardrock 100 Endurance Run are easy to sum up but hard to pull off.

"If you see a mountain in front of you, climb it," race director Dale Garland told 140 runners gathered at the starting line earlier this month. "If you see a snowfield, go down it. If you see a creek, cross it ... And remember the No. 1 rule, no whining."

Hardrock is widely considered the toughest 100.5-mile race on the continent. The roller coaster of rocky trails and Jeep roads through Colorado's San Juan Mountains climbs 11 mountain passes and one 14,000-foot peak for a vertical gain of 32,962 feet. Almost all of it is in the thin, lung-burning air above tree line. And except for quick passes through Telluride and Ouray, it sticks to remote, lonely valleys.

Racers have 48 hours to finish. Even though the event draws some of the top ultrarunners, historically just more than half succeed. Complete article, HERE.

Tree Frog Bicycle Spinner 

(Extracts from the May Issue at http://www.insidemex.com/

The Mexico City Government launched the city's first cycling path in 2003 to promote bicycle use as an alternative to polluting automobiles. For 60 kilometers it passes through the Miguel Hidalgo, Alvaro Obregón, Magdalena Contreras and Tlalpan delegations.Though not perfect - some spots are impassable or impractical, like the lines painted on the sidewalk in front of the Anthropology Museum- the clclovia represents a big step forward for Mexico City cyclists, enabling them to take to the streets instead of being confined to parks. It also promotes the bicycle as a serious means of transport, says Areli Carreón, a founder of the urban cycling group Bicitekas and a Greenpeace consultant. Each Sunday between 8am-2pm you can cycle, walk, run or skate down a traffic-free Paseo dela Reforma from the Bosque de Chapultepec to the Zöcalo, as well as through rotating delegaciones. The last Sunday of each month is the Ciclotón Familiar - a 32 km traffic-free route through the city. A bike mechanic, doctor and hydration are at the disposal of participants and nearly five hundred bicycles are available on loan. More information, below.

FACTS ABOUT BICYCLE RIDING IN MEXICO CITY  

  •  It is the cheapest, fastest, increasingly most favored alternative method of transportation.
  • We must create a Culture of Prevention in Safe Bicycle Riding by always using our helmets, wearing gloves, drive DEFENSIVELY, never offensively. What this means is that everyone has the right of way, automobiles, trucks,  pedestrians, vendors. Cyclists proceed to cross the street only until it is completely safe, all cars have come to a COMPLETE STOP.
  • According Norma Pensamiento, a journalist that specializes in bicycle riding in Mexico City and to the Mexican Government Statistics Center -INEGI- about 1.2 % of Mexico City's population in the huge metropolitan area ride bicycles daily.
  • The thefts of bicycles are increasing. Many of the  bicycles stolen in Mexico City end up in other cities, such as Guadalajara, Veracruz, Mazatlán, etc. Always lock your bike. Investing in a high-quality lock will give you rewarding results. According to our reliable  sources about 1 million bicycles are stolen in the United States each year. Daily, approximately 3,000 bicylces are stolen, valued at an average cost of $ 265. The total value of 1,000,000 bikes stolen annually is .. $ 265 million US dollars!
  • The Mexico City Government has instituted a MUEVETE EN BICI program during weekends. This is their 2008 Activities Calendar Confirming attendance previously, Hashers meet every Sunday at 10 am at Minatitlán 12, Roma to ride bicycles, no cost. Afternoon social activities, Dutch Treat. Lots of nice places to choose from. This is the Ciclovia MAP, thanks to Alain Garcia. Also on Sundays we can transport our bicycles in the subway, enabling to travel to distant locations within Mexico City.
