Durango, CO. – Trails 2000 will bring in the International Mountain Bicycling Association's (IMBA) Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew to Durango, May 17-19, 2008 to talk trails, teach people proper trailbuilding technique, and spend quality time digging in the dirt. The visit is one of 70 stops on the 2007 schedule. Everyone is invited to attend the weekend's events but space is limited and requires registration through Trails 2000. The award-winning Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew program includes two full-time, professional teams of trail experts who travel North America year-round, leading IMBA Trailbuilding Schools, meeting with government officials and land managers. IMBA's Crews have led more than 1,000 trail projects since the program debuted in 1997. The Crews teach "sustainable" trailbuilding, which means building trails that last a long time and require minimal maintenance. This helps reduce trail damage, protects the environment, and enhances visitor enjoyment. Trails 2000 is consulting with the town of Silverton on their new bike path around Kendall Mountain. Members of the Mountain Studies Institute will also be in attendance to learn about building their soft surface trail network. Coming to Durango are Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew members Anna Laxague and Jason Wells. Laxague and Wells hail from the Pacific Northwest. They bring a unique combination of professional experience to the program - both taught environmental education, and have worked at bike shops and as mountain bike guides. They worked as kayak river guides in Hood River for several years and will hopefully find some time to paddle a few rivers on their way around the country, in addition to riding as many trails as possible. All are welcome to join the Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew leaders when they come to town. Below is a schedule of events that are open to the public: Friday, May 16: Trail Review w/Trails 2000 Saturday, May 17, 2008 Trailbuilding School. MUST SIGN UP. Call or email 970-259-4682, Info@Trails2000.org Sunday, May 18: Meet at Horse Gulch Road for a group ride, ask questions and talk trail with Jason and Anna. For more information and to register for the IMBA Trailbuilding School, contact Mary Monroe at 970-259-4682 or Email.
