Valley Mountain Bikers' New BOB Trailer

VMB News

Your membership fees at work!

I'm proud to announce the arrival of what may be the best single piece of equipment VMB has in our arsenal. Just finished putting it together (still need to trim down those huge zip ties though).

This should help us to get farther into the woods more quickly for trail work and may prove especially helpful on cleanup of multiple downed trees. I can't wait to put a chain saw in there.

Kudos to BOB Trailers & Strollers for their program benefiting local IMBA-affiliated cycling clubs. Good grassroots stuff.
