Mountain biking advocacy leaders, top federal land managers and key representatives of other trail and conservation groups from around the world will gather April 18-21, 2002, near Moab, Utah, for the 2002 IMBA Mountain Bike Advocacy Summit.
The summit will be held at the brand new Red Cliffs Adventure Lodge on the banks of the Colorado River in the majestic Castle Valley, 15 miles east of Moab.
By bringing together a dynamic, diverse group for four days of workshops, panel discussions and brainstorming, IMBA hopes to inspire advocacy that will produce better mountain biking opportunities worldwide.
The 2002 IMBA Mountain Bike Summit will feature seminars on:
* The future of mountain biking on federal public land
* Creative solutions to urban trail conflicts
* Wilderness and mountain biking
* Taking grassroots advocacy to a new level
* Securing federal and state trail funding
Summit participants will also have the opportunity to ride the spectacular trails surrounding Moab.
"The last time IMBA held a major summit (in Arizona, 1996), we dramatically improved the effectiveness of our organization and work," said IMBA executive director Tim Blumenthal. "We¹re confident that the 2002 IMBA Mountain Bike Advocacy Summit will achieve even more for our sport."
Sponsors and details for the event will be announced soon.
IMBA's work is led by a professional staff, volunteer board of directors and designated volunteer representatives from each U.S. state and many other countries. IMBA's backbone remains its individual membership of 32,000 and its network of more than 450 off-road cycling clubs, totaling 80,000 individuals in the IMBA community.

Cycling is the kind of sport that can take you anywhere. And not only because races take place in France, USA, Spain, Australia, Malaysia or Burkina Faso. In itself, it’s a sport which drives riders (and organisers) from a place to an other one. Is there a better way to discover a unknown country and to encounter its inhabitants; who stand on the roadsides while they wait for the champions? I don't think so!
And the Tour du Faso proved it once again, as I met thousands of people, including huge groups of kids, who are allowed to go out of their classroom when the bunch is coming. Children everywhere, shouting, laughing, staring at you with stunned eyes. Their faces are so touching, their smile so moving, that it’s hard to leave them when it’s time to go!
For Tour du Faso race coverage
After Lampre Daikin had lost a number of experienced riders such as Gilberto Simoni to Saeco, Oscar Camenzind to Phonak and Franck Vandenbroucke to Domo the team has decided to go for some "old heads" to boost their strength for 2002.
The 32 year old Pavel Tonkov is a former Giro d'Italia (1996) winner whilst 29 year old Lithuian Raimondas Rumsas won the 2001 Giro dei Paesi Baschi and the Campionato Nazionale Lituano. Rumsas moves from Fassa Bortolo, with Tonkov leaving Mercury.
The Auckland Track season opens at Sunday 11 November at the Manukau Velodrome, with organisers promising an afternoon of New zealands top riders, food and music.
