Volunteer Mountain Bikers Rally to Support National Public Lands Day
For Immediate Release: September 29, 2004
Nearly 900 volunteers from 32 IMBA affiliated clubs in 26 states participated in the IMBA/BOB Trailers Trailwork Challenge on National Public Lands Day, Sept. 18. BOB Trailers encouraged IMBA club involvement by donating an IBEX suspension trailer.
National Public Lands Day is one of the nation's largest outdoor volunteer efforts. In its 11th year, National Public Lands Day supported 600 projects leading to an estimated $9 million in public improvements.
CNY DIRT is this year's winner of the IMBA/BOB Trailers Trailwork Challenge. CNY DIRT of North Syracuse, New York, repaired and improved construction on damaged trail in Highland Forest County Park.
"Once again, we are proud to sponsor this year's event," said BOB sales manager Damon Noller. "National Public Lands Day is a great way for mountain bikers to volunteer and for BOB Trailers to support the important work of IMBA clubs."
In addition to sponsoring this annual challenge, BOB offers IMBA clubs discounted trailers and accessories to aid their trailwork efforts.
