I attended the IMBA Summit in Moab last year and had the most incredible
time meeting other mountain bike advocates from all over the world. I also
know people who attended the Midwest Summit in KC last year and had
absolutely nothing bad to say about it and that it was a great party with
tons of good info to be shared. If you're wanting to learn more about
advocacy, I would highly recommend making the trek to Kansas City. You
will meet people from about 10 different states, ride, drink a few beers,
learn tons, and see a different part of the county! Check it out!
