HUGE thanks to Lau
and Ben for helping out with the Family Bike Ride. We all had a fantastic
time for a great cause and even received some nice "PR in the ER," so to
speak. It's a shame that Lau didn't get his photo in the story because he
truly was the kids' favorite, due - no doubt - to the many miles he put in
on the dual recumbent cycle with just about every kid there. In fact, he
took so many spins on the recumbent that I began to worry about his
cyclocross race the following day. Lau also brought his wife and kids who
got in on the cycling action as well. Thanks, again, to Ben
and Lau. I'm looking forward to next year with the Kids Club and any other
community events that we can get involved in. -Evan Thanks Even for your
report. You guys obviously represented the club well.

While roaming about
the Taste of Chico my wife, I spotted this painting. For obvious reasons I
was partial to it and I voted for it. Then...yesterday... I learn that it
was painted by Chico Corsa member Roy Steves. So, I asked him about
it. How long have you
been painting?: I have been painting for about 10 years or so, and while most of the work I do is in a mural format, (ie. on a wall) I have reduced the scale every so often and produced a few canvasses. What inspired this
painting?: I was suffering from a bit of painters block when the COBA contest came around this year. I do a lot of landscapes, and started with a view of some local foothills in the distance. Then the storm cloud, and I really didn't like any of it. The bike was something I had been wanting to paint for some time, and I just threw it on. Its mostly my orange racing bike mixed with the single speed drive train and chopped handlebars on an old Peugeot I have. At first the image seemed absurd, then I started enjoying it. It messed up the scale in the foreground, so a bit of adjusting was needed. It will be
auctioned off. What do you think it will go for?: The painting will be auctioned off at 7:00 tonight. I guess I am hoping for something like $400 - 800 (half goes to COBA). Pricing your own art is always tough and I have never really been comfortable doing it. The painting took me some time and I put value in that. Thanks Roy...for the
brief interview and most of all, the painting. I enjoy them
both. Post Script: Roy's
painting not only sold for $500 but it won first prize in the art contest.
The exciting thing for us cyclist is that will become a mural in downtown
Chico. | ||

Management Rings NASDAQ Bell in NYC Tri Counties Bank, a subsidiary of Trico Banchares (NASDAQ: TCBK), was one of the first California companies headquartered north of Sacramento to preside over The NASDAQ Stock Market Opening Bell last Thursday, September 21, 2006.
