August 2, 2007 – IMBA is coming to Winnipeg, MB, August 2-5. Ryan Schutz and Kristin Butcher of the Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew is teaming with Gord’s Bike Club for a weekend dedicated to improving local trails. The Crews teach “sustainable” trail building, which means building trails that last a long time and require minimal maintenance.
