Invitation to Comlara Park’s International Mountain Bicycling
Association’s Subaru/IMBA Trail Crew Visit
Coming to Comlara Park on May 12th is the International Mountain Bicycling Association's (IMBA) Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew Visit to talk trails, teach people proper trailbuilding technique, and spend quality time digging in the dirt. The visit is one of 70 stops on the 2004 schedule. Everyone is invited to attend the weekend's events.
The award-winning Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew program includes two full-time, professional teams of trail experts who travel North America year-round, leading IMBA Trailbuilding Schools, meeting with government officials and land managers, and working with IMBA-affiliated groups to improve mountain biking opportunities. IMBA's Crews have led more than 1,000 trail projects since the program debuted in 1997.
The Crews teach "sustainable" trail building, which means building trails that last a long time and require minimal maintenance. This helps reduce trail damage, protects the environment, and enhances visitor enjoyment.
All are welcome to join the Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew leaders when they come to town.
