Member Meeting

Virtual Meeting via Zoom

In light of COVID numbers, we are moving this meeting to on-line. Our member meetings discuss upcoming events, trail progress and organization updates, and often feature guest speakers from area bike and trail advocates. It’s a great way for new or potential members to get involved in the organization!
