My Black and Blue Blog blog was originally created by me when I published the Almaden Cycle Touring Club (ACTC) newsletter the Black and Blue Bottom. It was used to aid in the production that newsletter. Now, it is just used to present views and content related to ACTC. Posts here are solely the opinion of the poster and do not reflect the opinions of the ACTC, anybody's employers or anybody else but the poster at the time the post was made.

May B&BB is here
This is the May Issue of the Black and Blue Bottom, the ACTC Newsletter
I am very rushed this month and will be out of town this weekend so there will be no time for revisions, I am sorry.
This has already gone to the printer:
- On-line version for viewing and reading by membership
- The normal single page wide version, with the template layer turned off, that works on the printing press and goes to the printer for production of the bike club newsletter.
- A special double page wide version that SHOULD work on the printing press and can be checked by the printer for production of the bike club newsletter.
Thanks
