OTHER NOTES

BIG NEWS – There has been talk for a very long time, but thanks to Senator Bill DeSteph, there is now actual money built into the state budget to build a single-track bike trail at First Landing State Park in Virginia Beach.  Although this is slightly outside our area, it’s nice to know that more trails will soon be available within driving distance.  They will be requesting some advice and possible help from EVMA.  We hope to hear more about this soon.

Trails – Thank you to everyone who spent time clearing trails after our bouts of crazy summer weather.  Don’t forget to report downed trees or other big maintenance issues on EVMA chatter.

Colonial Revolution Team – Have a middle or high school-aged child who could be a better rider than you?  Consider involving him or her on the Colonial Revolution Youth Mountain Bike Team.  Visit www.colonialrevolutionmtb.org for more details.

Bike Maintenance Demo – REI is offering a free bike maintenance demo at Commonwealth Brewery on September 19th at 6 pm.  Visit www.REI.com/VirginiaBeach for more details.

Grant – EVMA recently received a grant from REI to purchase new tools/equipment.  The board is currently making some decisions on how to properly spend the money.

Volunteers Still Needed – Thank you to everyone who has stepped up to serve as board members.  We are still looking for ride leaders and people to help with various events.  Please contact Mike Benton at president@evma.org if you can help in any way.
