TAKMBD celebrates fifth year

The International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA) will celebrate its fifth annual Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day (TAKMBD) on Saturday, October 4. IMBA-affiliated clubs and patrols around the globe will take anywhere from just a few to a few hundred kids out on bikes to give them a taste of mountain biking.

In addition, the two Subaru / IMBA Trail Care Crews will be participating. Kelly and Collins will join the New England Mountain Bike Association (NEMBA) at Middlesex Fells Reservation near Boston, and Anna and Jason will be partnering with the Southwest Idaho Mountain Bike Association (SWIMBA) at the Idaho Velodrome Park in Boise. Organizers are expecting close to 100 participants each and some special guests like Gary Fisher, Eric Carter and Randy Drielling.
