It was such an amazing morning getting to be the Bell Joy Ride Knoxville TN ambassador and hosting my third guided women's only mountain bike ride for all levels! Upwards of 100 women came out ready to get rad and progress in mountain biking. It was an incredible fun and social day of riding with beginner through expert groups heading out on the trails! I'm so lucky to be able to provide different ride groups and resources to women that hopefully inspire confidence in a social and FUN environment. I'm seeing that riding with another woman is the key to progression. I host a Joy Ride once per month here in Knoxville and would like to see every girl in Knoxville come give it a try! - Missy Petty. |
The IMBA Trail Solutions Team was great to work with. When the project began, we gathered a small group of local DH guys, and the Trail Solutions Team listened to suggestions from them as well as our land manager, Legacy Parks. The process was very inclusive and the end result gave us various options for setting up the track in different ways on different days. A race director can choose to run the track with all jumps through the woods or mix in the rock garden designed and built by Neko and Knight. I would recommend the Trail Solutions Team to anyone that is looking for a great product. - Brian Hann, Vice President of AMBC. |
The new trail system was meant to add a downhill element to the more than 100 miles of area trail our local chapter Appalachian Mountain Bike Club (AMBC) has influenced through extensive volunteer efforts and community relationships," said Heather Cooper, IMBA's Senior Director of Marketing. The Bell Built grant enabled another partnership between AMBC and IMBA's Trail Solutions team, resulting in a feature-filled jump trail that includes nearly two dozen optional gap jumps ranging from 8 to 20 feet, a semi-truck sized wall ride, a step-up road flyover and a 300-foot rock garden built by Knight Ide. -Heather Cooper, Senior Marketing Director of IMBA. |
