Sometimes I get so caught up in things that I forget just how important some dates are. CORBA officially turned 25 in August, and even though we’ve been talking about our 25th Anniversary Party for months, I just now realized the amazing milestone CORBA has surpassed.
I was at the very first meeting that spawned CORBA, and the subsequent formative meetings that would create what is perhaps the most influential mountain biking advocacy organization in the country. But we weren’t doing it for fame (and certainly not fortune). We were just an ordinary group of men and women who felt that someone should speak up on behalf of this new and exciting way to explore our great public open space. That, and the fact that a lot of these people knew how to party!
So in that spirit, we are hoping to have a great party on September 29 at Founder’s Hall in Calabasas. It’ll be a chance for old CORBA members to reminisce, and for newer members to find out about all the things CORBA has done over the last 25 years. I sure hope you can make it!
