Any other MTB advocates?
Just wondering if anybody else is part of a MTB advocate groupe.(i.e.IMBA)
I'm an IMBA member and here in Ottawa I'm one of the founding member of this group called "National Capital Mountain Bike Association"(NCMBA)www.ncmba.com We organize and do trail maintenance on some of the local trails,we are the voice for the local MTB comunity... Anybody else does this in their area?

Re: Any other MTB advocates?
Now thats an awesome idea! When you say 'trail maintenance', what does this include? Do you clear out shrubs growing over the trail etc?

Re: Any other MTB advocates?
We build the trail from scratch,then we keep it in good shape during the season,build water bars,fill in holes created by erosion...
Then when the fall comes around we cover it with leaves so that it does not get damage over the course of the winter... Snow and stufff... Then in the spring we get rid of the leaves,pretty much like a lawn... But on a bigger scale!!! 8)MUCH BIGGER!!!!
