Calgary Mountain Bike Alliance

 This is just a quick reminder to attend the Spray Lakes Sawmills [SLS] open house on January 26 [tomorrow] in the Bragg Creek Community Centre.  The purpose of the open house is for you to ask SLS about the planned clear cut logging in West Bragg creek, potentially affecting 90% of the summer and winter trails there.

For more information, please visit the Sustain Kananaskis website. You can also sign the petition to stop the clearcuts.

Thanks!

PLEASE ATTEND THE SPRAY LAKES SAWMILLS OPEN HOUSE

Thursday January 26th, 2012

Bragg Creek Community Centre

3:00 - 7:00 pm.

If you care about the newly built trails in West Bragg [North map, South map], please come out to the open house and make your voice heard!

The CMBA had a pretty darn good 2011, thanks to lots of hard work from lots of people [mostly YOU]:

Major Growth in 2011

We experienced a surge in membership this year with 154 people signing up to support the trails (compared to 76 in 2010).  We say it often, but it bears repeating: THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

A Year of Fun Events

We had quite a few events happen away from the trails...

Cyclepath Club Night - On a frosty January evening, Cyclepath opened its doors and fed us sandwiches and beer, plus gave us sweet deals on bike stuff.  Thanks guys!

Double Header Film Festival - Held at the Uptown Theatre on May 1, we had a great turnout.  Look for the 2012 movie night at a new venue...

CMBA Take A Kid Mountain Biking Day - Kids and bikes go great together, and seeing all those happy faces is simply wonderful.  We'll be doing it again in 2012!

Focus Group members wanted for Nov 24th!

Were you at the CMBA TaKMBD in the last 2 years? Do you have an opinion about what we should do and how we can make the event bigger and better? Do you want to attend in 2012?

Be a part of our focus group to be held at the MEC Community room from 7-9 pm on Nov 24th. I am looking for a select group of past participants, those that knew but did not come, those with kids that would like to come, past and future sponsors, kids and teenagers. I will be finalizing the list by the 22nd so please respond to this email with a brief description of yourself and your involvement with TaKMBD.

Snacks will be provided and all participants chosen will receive a small prize pack as a thank you for attending.
