In the past few months I've been working on getting an official acceptance for our local cycling club www.bikevmb.com to be a stewardship leader in the Monroe County area for Parks. Personally this is my hometown where I've been raised into the cyclist I am today. I am working with our local clubs and govern bodies to become a leader for trail stewardship and design in the Monroe County Parks and beyond. In the past few days It has become a very positive situation we're in. By involving ourselves in volunteer and private trail designs it gives cycling more of a spotlight in our communities. Having coach, racing, trail design experience I felt it was time to make that call. It's never to late to give back to the sport that makes your day every time you go for a ride.
If you've had the chance to try some of the trails we work on , designed, created for events or resorts you know we poor our heart and souls into each one....
My main company MMR Mad March Racing and Adventures will be utilizing this opportunity to host skills clinics and demo Marin Bikes at the parks in the near future. We'll also be available to anyone who needs experienced trail building design or private / group off road cycling skill lessons, or setting up a unique offroad adventure anywhere in the world..... Or maybe just coming to your town and doing a refine your ride lesson at your local spot....
Many thanks to Marin Bikes for setting me up personally with new rigs to ride on, and to coach the newcomers to Mountain Biking with....The bikes are just getting better and better each year...www.marinbikes.com
I am a member of a local cycling club in my area called Valley Mountain Bikers. www.bikevmb.com. The club has more than 5000 hours of handwork in the Lehigh Valley parks systems alone. With Support from the local governments there we have made a huge impact on the recreational side of things for the local towns people there and those of them that ride our trails we steward there.... As we enter the Monroe County area the doors are opening again for our club. If your interested in becoming involved in a community service project, organizing a group ride, getting a trail design workshop with your school or organization, or would just like to be a part of very positive part of cycling join our club at www.bikevmb.com.
In Pennsylvania as the snow falls and the temps drop there are a few spots to ride outdoors and most of the time I use to get more organized with the next years projects. I do get out to Ray's Indoor Mountain Bike Park in Ohio a few times through the winter. Hope to see you there....
