Poll Results: Are You A Member of IMBA?

Here are the interesting results to the question, Are You A Member of the International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA)?

Yes - 21 (36%)
 No - 31 (54%)
 I do not support IMBA for ___ reason - 1 (1%)
 I have never heard of IMBA -  4 (7%)

Turns out more pollsters are non-members of the national advocacy umbrella that card carrying supporters. A few riders have never even heard of IMBA.

New Poll - IMBA

We invited our regional IMBA (International Mountain Bike Association) representative down for a weekend of trail riding and meet-n-greets. The topic of IMBA membership came up and we'd like to know if you are an dues-paying IMBA supporter. The Great Lakes Region Director, Andy Williamson, had good things to say about the club, our local trails, and general operations. However, he extended the opportunity for GORC to join the IMBA Chapter program - a step up from our current "IMBA-affiliated club" status.

This informal poll has been created to simply gauge IMBA's presence in the St. Louis community. We urge you to ask us any questions or concerns you may have regarding IMBA and its presence by contacting us directly at gateway_mtb / yahoo / com or by replying to this blog news clip.

Thank you for participating in this IMPORTANT poll.

GORC Updates

The web guy has been busy this summer with long working hours so the website is a bit slow in its updates. However, the club is moving right along and will be gearing up for the fall workday season soon enough.

The IMBA Trail Care Crew posted a short article on their IMBA blog basically reviewing our club. We are flattered to say the least! It is refreshing to hear how the organization is doing from folks outside our circle of influence.

The Greensfelder maps have been updated to accurately reflect the new mileage and are now available for download.

Though the Lost Valley race got rained out for the second time, here's hoping with double-crossed fingers that the Broemmelsiek Challenge goes off without a hitch.

Finally, I bet we'll start hearing about the Firecracker Trifecta / Epic soon enough on the message board. It takes place on July 4th in past years. That's good training before the GORC invasion of TAOS, NEW MEXICO.

Can't hardly wait.
