The International Mountain Bicycling Association is coming to North Carolina. Kelly and Collins Bishop of the Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew will be in Asheville for a Trailbuilding School. The Crews teach “sustainable” trail building, which means building trails that last a long time and require minimal maintenance. This helps reduce trail damage, protects the environment, and enhances visitor enjoyment.

Please RSVP online. For more information, please contact Ben Blitch or visit the Pisgah Area SORBA website.
