A visit from IMBA’s Matt Andrews: CROCT board considers becoming a chapter

L to R: Jeremy Bokman, Carl Arnold, Curtis Ness, Scott Koehler, Galen Murry, Matt Andrews  Matt Andrews, Associate Regional Director for IMBA's Midwest Region

Matt Andrews, Associate Regional Director for IMBA’s Midwest Region, met with some members of the CROCT Board on Monday to explain IMBA’s Chapter Program. He was somewhat more than marginally adequate. (I’ve gotten to know Matt as a MORC board member as he’s also MORC’s Executive Director.)

March 3 CROCT meeting: the group grows larger and includes Faribault area mountain bikers

Those who attended from the Faribault area seemed to be inclined to join the club rather than starting their own. Those from the Northfield area seemed glad to have them!   Continue reading March 3 CROCT meeting: the group grows larger and includes Faribault area mountain bikers

Seeking Faribault area mountain bikers

RBNC meeting with mountain bikers - April, 2012Some of us have been discussing how to get more involvement from Faribault area mountain bikers in the formation of CROCT, as our initial group consists mostly of riders from the Northfield area. We know that there’s a large number of them, judging from the turnout at a meeting that was held back in April 2012 at the River Bend Nature CenterContinue reading Seeking Faribault area mountain bikers
