IMBA:

The Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crews are going strong in 2005, and planning is underway for another big year in 2006. IMBA’s Crews have led more than 1,000 trail projects nationwide since the program debuted in 1997.

Most Trail Care Crew visits last four days, allowing time to assess trails, host an evening event at a bike shop, conduct a two-day Trailbuilding School and join local riders on the trails.

The visits become more popular each year: Over 200 IMBA-affiliated clubs, land management agencies, and other trail-user groups applied for a visit last year. Only 70 slots are available, so applicants are urged to contact IMBA as soon as possible. The deadline for applications is Nov. 1, 2005.
