NEMBA and the White Mountain National Forest Setting the Standard:

Local Partnerships Build Two Climbing Gems In North Conway, NH

The 4 mile climb on the Red Tail Trail ended with a steep granite dome climb and a spectacular view of the Presidentials.
Fifty volunteers are outfitted with tools from Forest Service and Greater Boston NEMBA Chapter's tool trailer. The proceeds from the annual race at Wompatuck State Park, near Boston, will be put towards buying and outfitting a trailer for New Hampshire, building capacity throughout New England.
The Forest Service was a huge partner in creating the re-route of the Moat Mountain Trail, and Jana even came out to swing a tool all day.
The reclamation of the old trail was beyond comparison to the last detail, the planted mushrooms in the middle of the trail.
Enjoying the fruits of their labor, Aaryn rides a rock feature that was enhanced by Rob Adair's dry masonry skills.

How do you make a New England mountain biking mecca even better? Replacing a long gravel road climb and a rutted skid trail with 4.5 miles of mountain biker designed and constructed singletrack certainly fits the bill. That's just what the White Mountain Chapter of the New England Mountain Bicycling Association (NEMBA) has accomplished over the last few years completing the Red Tail Trail and most recently, the Moat Mountain Trail. Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew, Scott Linnenburger and Aaryn Kay, helped to put the finishing touches on the Moat climb as part of the Annual NEMBA White Mountain weekend, August 16-17. Along with 5 other experienced crew leaders, Kay and Linnenburger, led over 50 volunteers, both local and traveling from 4 hours+ to the weekend of work and riding, who opened over a mile of new trail. None of this could have happened with out the proactive attitude and dedication of the local mountain bicycling community. Local advocates Mark Jenks and Rob Adair deserve lots of credit for building positive relationships that have led to new mountain biking opportunities on land owned or managed by the National Forest Service, the Town of North Conway, and the Nature Conservancy in recent years. With "the Nan" recently named an IMBA Epic ride this area is a must for classic rocky, climbing New England singletrack.
