Spring is here, and the trails are open. That means CORBA is once again looking
for volunteers devoted to its core mission of promoting mountain biking
opportunities in the Chippewa Valley.
CORBA is nothing without its members, and this year we want to give back to
those who ride and work hard to make our group strong. Effective immediately,
CORBA members will earn points for participating in club-sponsored activities.
Hoisting a Pulaski? Points for you. Joining a group ride? Points for you.
Marshalling the Firecracker? Points for you.
And now for the big payoff. At the end of the year social, the top Point-earners
in various categories will be awarded sweet, sweet prizes like a bike shop gift
certificate, a 4GB iPod (kindly donated by Mike Hill and Charter
Communications), gift certificates to local businesses, bike SWAG and major
bragging rights!
