Making Beautiful Trails with IMBA

Mar 24th, 2009 | By Dan | Category: Lead Story

It’s what we do around here. We just wanted to remind everyone to come out in 2 weeks time to learn how to do it right.

Saturday April 4th

Join SF Urban Riders as we join the International Mountain Bicycle Association’s (IMBA) trail crew, Jason Van Horn and Inga Beck as they lead a trail building workshop that includes a morning presentation followed by an afternoon of on trail experience. We are proud to announce that Jim Jacobson (China Camp, Camp Tamarancho) and Zack Anderson (Forest Trails Alliance) will also be lending their knowledge to the project. We will be realigning the East Ridge Trail and adding THREE unique switchbacks to divert the original trail from sensitive habitat and mitigate steep elevation loss.

Don’t Miss Out – Register today!

Food and refreshments will be provided all day. Free food, free education, and working to make your world a better place. Does free get any better?

Below this fine photo, you will find some well-honed event details, and as always, feel free to contact SFUR with any questions you may have.

Heya,

I want to come out for this, but you don’t have a date on the website (”two weeks” is a little vague). What is the date you will be doing trail work?

Thanks!
