Kansas City

Meanwhile in Kansas City, Crew members Mark Schmidt and Lora Woolner are planning a good 'ole time with the Earth Riders Trails Association (ERTA). The weekend kicks off with a series of meetings on Thursday and Friday with area land managers. An exciting goal of these meetings is to get more Kansas City parks open to mountain biking. ERTA is offering time and labor to build and maintain singletrack biking and hiking trails.

Meetings? Bore, yawn! The weekend is about more than just meetings. We also have a great line-up of public events.

Friday, Dec. 6, 5:00-8:00pm: IMBA slideshow at Bike Source at 119th & Quivera in Overland Park, KA (http://bikesourceonline.com/site/map.cfm?ID=6). Come enjoy this dynamic and exciting presentation about IMBA with photos from around the world. Snacks and drinks will be provided.

Saturday, Dec. 7, 8:00am-4:30pm: IMBA hosts a Trailbuilding School. This in-depth session features a morning classroom presentation and an afternoon of trailwork. Due to an overwhelming response for this event, we cannot accept any more people. We'll let you know the next time IMBA gives a Trailbuilding School in your area.

Saturday night, 9:00-??: We unwind with a little pub crawling fun. Bring your beater bike for a beer-drinking tour around town. The action will start at Bobby Baker's Lounge at 7418 Wornall Road in Kansas City.

Sunday, Dec. 8, 10:30am: We crawl out of bed for a not-too-early ride at Blue River Parkway (http://home.earthlink.net/~brptrailwatchers/). Meet at the trailhead at 118th & Lydia. For directions, go to http://www.earthriders.org/, click on Trails, then Missouri Trails, then Blue River Parkway.
