MTBA - new way forward for trail advocacy! (a.k.a. what now given that IMBA-AU has folded)

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

just spotted this article on the MTBA website ..

http://www.mtba.asn.au/news/2241-the-way-forward...

Since we're massively under served in terms of trail destinations and facilities I think this is an important discussion topic. Mine's a very Sydney centric view of life. I know things are on the improve but the pace of change is frustratingly glacial.

Saturday,October 5 is IMBA take a Kid (or Mom) Mountain Biking day

Heads up for everyone out there who might usually be having a hard time getting their family out riding with them: This Saturday (October 5) is IMBA's Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day. As this is the 10th anniversary, they have, rather tongue in cheek I think, crossed out the 'kid' and replaced with 'mom' as a way of saying it really is for all the family.

TKMBD is an annual celebration held on the first Saturday of October. The event, developed and coordinated by IMBA, strives to encourage communities around the world to join together and ride mountain bikes with youth.

To be honest, that's about all you need to know: it's an excuse to drag your family or friends out on the dirt and get them grinning Laughing out loud

For those wanting to know more about the background, details on the IMBA site here: http://www.imba.com/tkmbd

If anyone wants to arrange something 'official' for this day somewhere around the Northern Beaches, please put it in the calendar and comment here so we can give it a plug.
