Kevin Adams served as IMBA’s Vice President of Chapter and Member Services until he retired in July, 2016. Prior to serving at IMBA, Adams was a board member of IMBA’s largest chapter – the Mid-Atlantic Off-Road Enthusiasts (MORE) -- and was instrumental in MORE becoming an IMBA chapter in 2012. Adams now serves on the board of the Verde Valley Cyclists Coalition (VVCC) in Sedona, AZ.
Construction is underway on a new mountain bike trail system in Sedona, Arizona known as the Western Gateway. The first sections will open in March, and local advocates are holding a massive raffle to raise funds.
After nearly 30 years, IMBA is no longer a membership-based association moving forward. Instead, membership now resides at the local level, and IMBA has introduced a new system to connect with local mountain bike advocacy organizations, called "IMBA Local." This article provides an analysis of the different Local levels, the Services that IMBA is providing, and whether or not IMBA Local is a good deal for your mountain bike club.
