Believe it or not the MMBA: Northeast Chapter site has some readers.  Our numbers have steadily increased over the last few months…thanks!

There is a lot going on in the local mountain biking scene (new trails, a new bike shop, on going trail maintenance, group rides, races, skills park – coming soon and more).  If you are a mountain biker and are enjoying this stuff, you should consider becoming a member of MMBA (Northeast Chapter).  Your support generates revenue that helps us continue to develop at the local level, as well as supporting the MMBA’s work at the State and National level.

If you are interested in being a contributing author to this site or have suggestions for it’s content, please contact thadhallberg[at]gmail[dot]com.  Please don’t hesitate to use the “comments” areas under each post…you can contribute here anonymously or (better yet) revealed.

BTW…the Northeast Chapter (MMBA) forum discussions have also increased.  This has been a great addition to the MMBA site!  We are encouraging all chapter correspondence to happen here.

We are about due for the next Northeast Chapter meeting…stay tuned for details.

Skills Course Brainstorm…

There will be a meeting tonight (8/27) at Midland City Forest to discuss the Skills Course/Pump Track concept.  We will meet in the main parking lot at 7:30pm and walk back to the clearing just beyond the second toboggan tower.  All interested are welcome to help us define the “big picture” and how to divide and conquer to get it built.  For tonight…bikes are optional, bug spray recommended and focused brains required.

We will probably be forced to end the meeting after about an hour, as daylight ends it’s session.

Meeting Tonight!

Midland City Forest…Wed. August 20th…7pm sharp…bring bike (last agenda item is a group ride)…all invited.

UPDATE: some are riding the whole trail (approx 13.5 miles) before the meeting.  Departing about 5:15pm.  There will be limited daylight after the meeting…maybe enough to complete a couple of loops.  See you there!

Northeast Chapter meeting/ride…

Copied from Uncle Jimmi’s MMBA forum post…

A meeting will be held Wednesday August 20 at 7:00 PM sharp at none other than Midland City Forest. 
Bring a chair or stool or be prepared to sit on your bike, this meeting will be held at the main trail head parking lot. 
We will have a productive 30 to 40 min meeting followed by a lap through the forest for those who want to ride. Lights won’t be needed and we will do 2 groups, fast and slow. 
On the agenda for the meeting will be discussing the possibilities of holding a race before the season is over. 
Setting a date for the next meeting so it never goes this long between meetings again. The position of Secretary for the chapter. 
Adding a skills area and skills options to the existing trails at the MCF.

…hope to see all interested riders there.
