Don't forget to charge your lights or let us know if you need one to try out!  Reminders Protect the Trails - The fall riding season is still here until the ground freezes, so if you are making ruts in the trail, please don't ride the trails. Hunting Season - PA hunting season has started. We have one more Sunday of hunting on 11/28. After that, Sundays will be open for riding in PA! Big game season runs through 12/11 in PA.  NY hunting season is also in full swing and they are allowed to hunt on Sundays. Night riding is encouraged. ANF Winter Riding  The National Forest is going to try to groom some trails for cross country skiing and fat biking this winter.If you ride, please stay out of the ski track and only ride when the snow will support riding. When we get confirmed trail locations (Jakes will not be one of the trails), we will let everyone know. Kinzua Connector Trail The Kinzua Connector Trail was put to bed for the winter. The trail will connect Kinzua Beach with Morrison Trail and will eventually be a loop up past Rim Rock. So far, the Forest Service and NAMBA have built 1/2 mile of trail, but we still have two miles to go! More trail work days will be coming this spring, so stay tuned for details and come help out if you can! NAMBA Meeting News The November meeting focused on proposed by-law revisions. The revisions are posted here. Please go check them out as the revisions are important as the club moves foward with a large geographic area. The next meeting will be January 15th in Bemus Point, NY. Time and location will be finalized soon. Jake's Fest We had a great time at Jake's Fest this year and hope you did, too. I would like to thank everyone who…

Jakes Fest planning is in full swing! The event will be September 24, 25, and 26, 2021. NAMBA will have 4 group rides on Saturday 25th, so we need about 20 people to help with the welcome tent and the rides. The groups will be geared to beginner exploration rides. Our plan is to show beginner and intermediate riders different trails than what they normally ride. All rides will be no drop rides on predetermined routes. The four rides will include a 5-6 mile ride and a 12-14 mile ride open to all riders. The other two beginner rides will be the same lengths but will be ladies rides. NAMBA will need a leader, tail and middle riders for all the rides. All rides will start between 9-10am and may include a free return trip on a shuttle. Routes and shuttle rides are still being finalized. We will also need members to volunteer at the tent starting Friday at about 2pm and running until Sunday during shuttle hours. All you need is your smile and to help get bikes off the shuttles. If you are able to help, please contact Ron J at jameson95@msn.com.

NAMBA would like to thank everyone who came out to the "I Scream for More Trails" event last month. We hope you all enjoyed the trails as well as the delicious ice cream from Taylor's Treats. The event was a huge success, and we're hoping to do another one in the fall, so stay tuned for details!
