and the Truckee Donner Land Trust (http://www.tdlandtrust.org/) for a weekend
of improving trails.
The visit features an evening slideshow about IMBA, a FREE IMBA Trailbuilding
School and a group ride. This is your opportunity to rub shoulders with the
IMBA crew while learning all about trailbuilding. Check out all the details
below and come join in the fun.
You are receiving this email as an IMBA member or contact. Help us get the
word out. Please forward this invitation to other area mountain bikers, land
managers, and trail users. The more the merrier!
If this event is too far away for you to attend, we understand. We sent you

work IMBA is doing in your area.
