IMBA California SoCal Advocacy Summit

[denmother]

Join IMBA California for the SoCal Advocacy Summit: June 7

Southern California has great riding, healthy mountain bike clubs, a booming bicycle industry and increasingly favorable land use policies. However, region-wide organization of mountain bike clubs and advocates could use a boost. So on June 7, Shimano and IMBA California will host a meeting to bolster cooperative efforts in SoCal.

Register here.

Attendees will network with IMBA state representatives, industry leaders and club advocates. Together we can support one another's efforts to build new singletrack trails and a provide a greater diversity of mountain bike opportunities.

When: June 7, 2008
Where: Shimano Headquarters in Irvine, CA
Time: 10am - 4pm

I will be out of town but thought I would post this in case anyone is interested in attending.
