March 2023 News 

Hello Riders!

The calendar says spring is right around the corner, the weather and the snowpack at Kiwanis sure tells a different story!

In the meantime, we have some cool MAMB items to share!

1.       MAMB Meetings this spring/summer will be held the 3rd Thursday of the month at the LocAle Brewing Company at 7PM. The next one being March 16th

2.       We have Board member elections coming up! Our board members serve a two year term and all we ask is you make it to meetings, events and keep up to date with club happenings. Basically, have a drive to keep our sport moving forward in the community. The selection and approval of new board members happens during the April meeting and members start their term on May 1, 2023.

3.       Have you heard of CERO?  (Circle The Earth Recreation Organization) Well If not, you’re in luck! At our march meeting Dan and Martie will be our special guests. They will share what CERO is up to and thoughts about expanding trail use in our community.

5.       Once the season kicks off, look for Tuesday after work rides, Women’s rides, Club Trips, Trail Build events and much more in 2023.

6.       We may need help soon moving equipment to higher ground if the river floods. We will keep an eye on things and get the announcement out when needed.

It’s Spring (almost) Now is the time to take a look at your MAMB membership.

To our current and past members, our supporters and our MAMB board, I would like to extend a huge THANK YOU in playing a part to grow our sport in the community! Memberships are what keep the trails maintained, improved and best of all expanded.
