other information
• a section containing an article by Kathy Rawlings about cycling in the Colorado
National Monument and a fi gure box of a cyclist on Rim Rock Drive

describing upcoming club events should be moved to the page's lower-left corner, and
the footer should be placed at the bottom of the page. Dan also wants to add images of
himself, Kathy Rawlings, and another cyclist in the background of different sections of
the page.
