Trailwork Opportunity November 7, 2010

Arizona Xterra Club (a 4x4 club). is doing a trail cleanup at Table Mesa recreation area (I-17 and Table Mesa Rd) on Nov 6th, 2010. There will be many different groups at the cleanup: 4x4 clubs, ATVs, UTVs, hikers, radio-controlled enthusiasts, etc. Also, there will be representatives from BLM on hand as well as the volunteer organization called OHV Ambassadors. It would be really cool if the guys and girls from MBAA could also join us on that day. The area really needs our help. Trail points would count towards the 2011 series!

Gain a points lead at the 2011 Tour De Fat

When: October 9, 2010 – 8 am – 4:00 pm

Where: Tempe Town Lake

Come celebrate the annual New Belgium Tour de Fat “bicycle festival”.

What is this? Your opportunity to be part of a bike parade through Tempe Streets before participating in a fun day of entertainment and beer drinking provided by New Belgium Brewing Company.

Bike Parade registration opens at 9:00 am; parade itself starts at 10:00. Ends at 11:00am. Entertainment and beer from 11:00 am until 4:00 pm.

MBAA is one of the non profit organizations that benefit from this event. Your help is needed in making the event run smoothly. The proceeds from this event allow MBAA to sponsor/assist with trails needs in the State, and allow MBAA to sponsor youth cycling and in general grow the sport of Mountain Biking.

What’s in it for you? By signing up for a two hour work shift at the event, you get the following:

From New Belgium: Free Tour De Fat T-shirt and beer tokens

From MBAA: Tour De Fat racing certificate (worth $10 on any 2010/11 racing event)

For the two hour shift, you will also receive 20 volunteer points applied to your total point standings for the 2011 series. This will come in handy because for the 2011 series championship all points count (trail, volunteer, short track, downhill, hillclimb, and Super D) on top of your regular XC points.
