OTHER NOTES
Volunteer Opportunities – The club runs on volunteers. EVMA always needs trail captains, ride leaders, board members, and club trip hosts. If you are able to help, contact Jim Irby.
EVMA Chatter – Riding is better with friends. If you plan to ride, post the information on the chatter page so others can join you.
EVMA gear – There is a plan to or some shirts and jerseys in the near future that will be available for purchase. If you want a specific size or color, let Jim know so we can get it for you. There are plenty of youth sized shirts and adult shirts in the smaller size that can be purchased now.
Trail Work Challenge - Also, if you are out riding, take a few minutes to pick up fallen branches or cut back a few of those face slappers. EVMA President Jim challenges everyone to spend 10-15 minutes of a future bike ride doing a little trail work. See the Chatter page for more information. Remember to report any downed trees to president@evma.org or post on Facebook. Please include the park, trail, mile marker and a picture, if possible. Please don’t do any leaf blowing or major trail modifications without permission.
