| IMBA comes to town |
| -- The International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) is about to |
| get a firsthand look at the current state of mountain biking in Houston.|
| |
| |
| IMBA officials arrive in town next Thursday for a 10-day visit to seek |
| solutions for removing the Bayou City from the organization's list of |
| worst mountain-biking cities in America. |
| |
| |
| IMBA has designated Houston as an "urban hot spot" in dire need of |
| additional mountain-biking access. A meeting with the Houston Parks |
| Board, Memorial Park Conservancy and the Parks and Recreation Department|
| to discuss the Memorial Park trails is one of the key items on the IMBA |
| agenda. |
| |
| |
| IMBA's assessment and recommendations concerning Memorial could be |
| critical to determining the fate of Memorial's south-side trails. |
