IMBA-SORBA and its chapters Pisgah Area SORBA and Upstate SORBA are so very proud to announce the very first Southern Mountain Bike Summit in Brevard, NC, March 25th-27th, 2011. It’s a celebration, it’s education, it’s advocacy, and we invite YOU to attend! Our theme for the event is Great Riding in the South (GRITS, yes!), and without you there wouldn’t be GRITS! Without YOU GRITS won’t get better! So, come on over for the greatest mountain biking advocacy event ever held in the Southeast!
Keynote address: The Summit kicks off with Keynote Speaker Krista Rettig of Trek Bicycles. Krista is a pistol, a wonderful speaker who is totally committed to getting riders on the trail, particularly women and families. Come listen and learn from this industry leader!
Sessions—Friday and Saturday are full of informational sessions led by experts from governmental agencies, advocates, and industry leaders. Learn how to partner with the US Forest Service, how other areas have successfully created trail communities (not just great trails), how to be an effective Mountain Bike Patroller, how to be a more effective leader, and much more!
Rides—Pisgah National Forest. DuPont State Park. Trek demos. Need we say more?
Silent Auction—Support PAS, Upstate SORBA, and the local Bracken Mountain Trail project by bidding on fantastic merchandise and services.
Socials—Hang out with friends, old and new, and talk about, what else? All things mountain biking!

Please CF SORBA: send me to DC. Give me the opportunity to learn, so that I may teach. Currently, I have raised $200 from donations made by both the Cape Fear Cyclists and Two Wheeler Dealer. I need approximately $300 total for registration. I will cover the rest myself. That leaves $100 yet to be raised. I do not want to request funds from Cape Fear SORBA because the club is in desperate need of the cash for current trail building projects. So I am humbly asking each of you for help. Any donation, large or small, would be a great help. I am going to represent the Cape Fear Region in Washington DC. I want to bring everything I learn back to the Cape Fear, and build a better cycling world.
If you do wish to help fund my trip to DC, you may drop off donations at:
Old Books on Front St
249 N. Front St
Wilmington, NC 28401
or mail them to:
Austin Fenwick

Thank you for your time and if you have any questions feel free to contact me.
