March 2010 SORBA Board Meeting
Hey, you guys!
We’re trying something a little different this year. We’re turning the typical SORBA Board of Directors Meeting into a festival weekend at the Nantahala Outdoor Center <http://www.noc.com/> in Bryson City, NC! The Board of Directors, the Regional Leadership Advisory Council, the Subaru-IMBA Trail Care Crew, and mountain bikers of all stripes will converge for a weekend of mountain biking, including trail education, riding, a party, and more riding!
Here are the details:
All are invited to join the IMBA-SORBA Regional Leadership Advisory Committee (RLAC), Board of Directors, staff, and the Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew for a weekend of learning, digging, riding, and fun at the Nantahala Outdoor Center March 19-21, 2010.
Join your friends, and immerse yourself in the beauty of Western North Carolina’s Nantahala River gorge while learning about advocacy and trail building from the Southeast’s most experienced advocates and the Trail Care Crew. Put your trail-building know-how to work at a hands-on workshop at the Tsali trail system. After the diggin’ is done, we’ll put away our tools and ride our bikes, topping it all off with a party and more riding!
Registration for the weekend is $25, and includes admission to the Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew events, lunch and dinner on Saturday, group rides, on-site transportation, and the Saturday night party. Online registration http://go.imba.com/site/Calendar/540251748?view=Detail&id=105441 is open, so don’t delay! If you have questions about the event, email Tom Sauret, tom@sorba.org.
