As an IMBA affiliated club you are invited to attend one of the more than a dozen Trailbuilding Schools this year.

They are perfect for club leaders and will frequently offer an additional day for land managers.
IMBA Web Site
IMBA offers Affiliated Clubs access to online resources and promotes your club and events on the web site, Facebook/Twitter and in eNews. We put local mountain bikers in touch with your club through the "Near You" listing.
National Mountain Bike Patrol
Establishing a volunteer patrol in your area is often a great solution when user conflicts threaten mountain bike access. The NMBP promotes and supports local mountain bike patrollers and groups that inform, assist and educate mountain bikers and other trail users.
