The Subaru Sea Otter Classic is about the get underway (April 14-17) in Monterey, California, and IMBA will once again be on hand to greet members at our booth (#235-237), host events and provide new and renewing members the chance to win a killer bike—this year, it’s a Stumpjumper 6Fattie (a Rhyme is available if the winner is female, or choose a Riprock kid’s bike).
From Thursday through Sunday at Sea Otter, IMBA staff will be promoting the “Ride Local, Support Local” membership drive. Subaru, the event’s title sponsor, will also be donating $1 for each visitor that selects IMBA as their preferred beneficiary at the Subaru Donation Booth.
Do not forget to charge your camera or smart phone so you grab event photos and post them on Instagram: Use #20fortrails and the Instagram contributor with the most likes will win a prize pack from IMBA and Subaru.
There’s plenty more to keep you informed and entertained. See below for a comprehensive list of IMBA-related activities at Sea Otter.
