The second annual Colorado Mountain Bike Summit -- hosted by Colorado BLM and Forest Service, IMBA, Bicycle Colorado, and the Crested Butte Chamber of Commerce -- will be held on Thursday, June 28, and Friday, June 29, in the midst of one of the state's best bike events, the Crested Butte Fat Tire Bike Week.

The summit will bring together land managers and mountain bike enthusiasts in order to develop innovative partnerships to improve the quality and quantity of riding opportunities on federal lands in Colorado. The program includes opportunities to learn about BLM and Forest Service planning processes, give guidance on developing volunteer trail stewardship of public lands, and network with federal land managers.

All participants will receive IMBA's newest book, Managing Mountain Biking, as well as a collaborative US Forest Service/IMBA DVD on trail design and construction, and a host of technical publications on trails. On Saturday, the award-winning Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew will conduct a classroom-based trailbuilding school in the morning, followed by an afternoon field session working on the Kebler Wagon Trail.
