Thanks to on-going sponsorship from Subaru of America, the Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew program continues to crank along. Two teams of trail experts are rolling throughout North America, leading trailwork sessions, meeting with land managers, and working with IMBA-affiliated clubs to improve mountain biking opportunities.

Most Trail Care Crew visits last four days, allowing the Crew to assess local trails, strengthen partnerships with local clubs and land managers, host an evening event at a bike shop or other location, conduct a 1 to 2-day Trailbuilding School (typically on Saturday and Sunday) and take time to get out and ride with the locals.

Having personally attended Subaru/IMBA Trailbuilding Schools on several occasions, I highly recommend participating in this educational and inspiring activity the next time the Crew is in your neck of the woods. Click here for the complete 2009 Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew schedule.
