IMBA Hot Spots Program Focuses on New York City

Improved mountain bike access in New York City is the goal of an upcoming 11-day Hot Spots campaign hosted by the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA), Westchester County Parks Department and IMBA affiliates Concerned Long Island Mountain Bicyclists (CLIMB) and the Jersey Off Road Bicycle Association (JORBA), September 19-29, 2002.
IMBA staff and local advocates will conduct a series of meetings with land managers, community leaders and other conservation and recreation groups to discuss ways to improve mountain bike access in the New York City metro area. This coordinated work is part of IMBA's Hot Spots program that works to create urban trail access solutions and inspire new mountain bike advocates.
Preserving trail access near cities is one of the most difficult challenges facing IMBA and mountain bikers. As urban areas continue to expand and open space dwindles, it's becoming increasingly difficult for trail enthusiasts to find convenient places to enjoy the outdoors. The IMBA Hot Spots program concentrates on addressing this problem in a handful of cities each year.
IMBA invites bicyclists and the public to attend one or more of the following events during the New York City IMBA Hot Spot visit. The events are a great opportunity to learn about trailbuilding, trail access and other issues that impact outdoor recreation. It's also a chance to meet IMBA staff, the Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew and get involved with your local club. These events celebrate the spirit of mountain biking and focus on constructive trail management solutions that benefit all New York City outdoor enthusiasts.
Below is the current list of events open to the public. The IMBA Hot Spots program is made possible in part by generous support from CLIF Bar, Inc. For more information visit http://www.imba.com/hotspots.
