We have been told that we can no longer use Mentor Baptist Church parking lot as a staging area for our rides. They site the reasons as follows: They have found human deification behind the church, trash in the parking lot, cyclists refusing to move their cars when in the way of church functions, cyclists using the church rest rooms during the Wednesday and Sundays Services and people parking in the portico during the Wednesday night services. They said they would have any vehicles towed so I would recommend that we pass the word to any cyclists that may not be members of Springbike Bicycle Club. If you have any knowledge of people that have committed any of the things listed above please pass on to them that their actions have affected all cyclists in Springfield not just Springbike members. We all have a responsibility to put forth a good image when we are cycling or in our cycling attire because what we do affects everyone not just us individually. I also want to remind everyone that it is not right for us to just use a parking lot without permission of the owner or organization that owns the lot. I will be writing a letter of apology to the pastor and board of Mentor Baptist Church and hopefully some day we can repair our image with that church. David Ritchey
