Saturday AM Camp Ride!

Meet at 8am May 9th at Kiosk- North Side. No rider left behind.

Success- stay tuned for the Saturday ride announcements!

NEW RACE DATE!

New race weekend date will be August 1st and 2nd. This was the only date that would fit into the IMBCS schedule and Camp Activity schedule.

IMBCS #2 to be Rescheduled

Spent some time assessing the trail system last night and again this morning, and we have some major flooding going on affecting a majority of the North side trails and South side trails. Even if it stayed dry until the weekend (which is unlikely with the forecast) it will be a muddy mess, and still have unpassable sections. We have re-routed in the past but am not fond of 3-4 mile loops when there is much more to offer. Out of concern for rider's travel time and expense, damage to bicycle's, and a substandard experience, I am planning on rescheduling the event. Stay tuned for a NEW date that is in the works as we speak.

Work Day April 18th 8-12

Saturday April 18th is our first "official" trail work day. This is one of the most important to attend as our race is just around the corner! Show up at 8 with a rake and/or shovel at the IMB sign in Kiosk. We should be done around lunch time, unless you need to leave early.

IMB March all members meeting

What: IMB all members and volunteers meeting!
When: Monday March 16th 7 PM
Where: Camp Ingawanis- Bike shed/ Maple. If too cold we may use Eagle.
Why?: Set up Work Dates, discuss bridge planning*, IMBCS #2 May XC race planning and sponsors, discuss the newly formed IMB sponsored Scout Venture Crew.

* IMB was recently rewarded a significant grant to assist in connecting the North and South side bike trails at Camp Ingawanis.

All interested are invited!

Please note Date change to IMB meeting Dec 30th

The IMB all members meeting date has been changed to Tuesday December 30th. It remains at Doughy Joeys in Waterloo and at 7PM. Stay tuned for the agenda.

IMB all members meeting IMPORTANT!

News Flash and Updates

Just a reminder!!! The North Side of Camp is open for riding all day every day.

The Nov. 20 meeting will be rescheduled for the first or second week in December. A couple things to ponder before this meeting: The election of committee position holders and responsibilities, additional activities for 09, progress on Maple, and progress on bridge. May's weekend race has been set w/ the IMBCS. More info and an agenda will be sent out prior to our December IMB meeting, but feel free to share via email's. Thanks All

Forecast looks Good for the FLTF !

Mid 70's and no rain predicted- for the Flat Tire Festival. We have cabins and campsites still available. Tomorrow the 9th is the cut-off for discounted family or single weekend rates, (like it's not cheap enough already!). RSVP to me @ jbidwell2003@hotmail.com , call 319-939-6923, or if you're on facebook go to this EVENT and say your attending. There will be activities for all!

Still looking for a couple volunteers to help w/ race duties.
