Marla Streb at CORBA's Fat Tire Fest, Saturday, October 14th.
Mountain
bike legend Marla Streb will lead a skills clinic and ride at this year's Fat
Tire Fest! We were all disappointed last year, when Marla had to cancel due to
a family emergency. This year Marla will be traveling to the FTF wth her husband
and new baby.
CORBA is also pleased that local cross-country racer Mikel
Aucutt, who placed Second in the Expert Masters this year, will be working with
Marla on the clinic and ride. Mark your calendar as it's barely a month away.
CORBA's Fat Tire Fest, Saturday, October 14, 2006 at Malibu Creek State Park.
This event celebrates CORBA's 19th birthday and includes the popular Poker
Ride. Companies such as Giant, REI, and KHS have donated great bikes and other
great goodies for the FTF raffle. Sign up early and get free raffle tickets. You
can use Active.com, PayPal, and snail mail (to be posted soon).
The
Fat Tire Fest is lots of fun, but it's also fun work for some. We could use help
before and during the event. If you would like to lend a hand, please contact
Louisa at 310-374-7552 or mtbike4@earthlink.net for more
information.
Saturday, September 30th: CORBA Trail Work Day on
the Ken Burton Trail.
The Ken Burton Trail is located in the Angeles
National Forest near Brown Mountain. This trail has pretty much been taking back
by nature and we need to reclaim it. We will need a large crew out on this one
as there is a lot to do. Please mark your calendars and bring a friend or two.
Meet in the Millard Canyon Campground parking lot at 7:45 am. We will carpool
up the Brown Mountain Road to the top where the Burton trail is located. We
could use a few trucks or SUV's to shuttle everyone to the top. If you would
like to help with your vehicle that would be great. Send Hans, hans@corbamtb.com an email to let him
know.
Directions: Off the 210 Freeway, exit Lincoln Ave.,in Pasadena.
Head north 2 miles, turn right on Loma Alta Drive; flashing yellow light is
Chaney Trail, go left and follow the road approximately 1.5 miles to the end at
Millard Campground parking lot. CORBA Trail Crew Page.
If you want to
ride your bike to the top, plan to arrive at the Ken Burton trailhead at 8:30
am. It is about a 1-hour bike ride to the top from Millard
Campground.
