Rockburn Skills Park Trail/Pump Track Education & Maintenance Days

IMBA and MORE host
Trail/Pump Track Education & Maintenance Days
Oct 29th and 30th

This is a great time to join MORE and IMBA, learn a ton about trail building and repair AND smile a ton!  IMBAs Trail Care Crew will be visiting Howard County this weekend, Oct 29-30.

The Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew, on the road since 1997, is IMBA's grassroots educational program and an authority on sustainable trail building practices. Two teams of professional trail experts travel year-round throughout the United States and beyond, leading trail work sessions, meeting with land managers and working with IMBA-affiliated clubs and the communities they serve to improve mountain biking opportunities. The Trail Care Crew program has inspired great volunteer trail work across the U.S. and abroad - a big help to government agencies and land managers who have limited funding for trail construction and upkeep. As a direct result, there are now thousands of new and improved trails in all 50 states, Canada, Mexico and several European countries.
Here is the schedule:
