NorCAMBA's annual Tahoe Rim Trail Epic Weekend Celebration still has room for a few more participants.

Fox has stepped up and is throwing down a major enticement for you to come. Please register and join us!

We are going to raffle off to some lucky winner your choice of a Fox Vanilla fork (retails for $490) or a Fox Float fork (retails for $600). This raffle is limited to people who come up and volunteer for the trailwork project on Saturday. We will raffle the fork off during dinner on Saturday night. You do not need to be present at dinner to win, but you do need to be present at the workday. We are limiting the workday to 35 participants, so check out these odds!

We have a great project planned for Saturday 8/19, building a causeway to raise the tread over a soggy area on the Tahoe Rim Trail so that we don't get bogged down in the mud. This project could really benefit from a large turnout, so I'm hoping to get some more people registered for the weekend. The weekend includes some great riding, camping, eating and hanging out. Details below:

Schedule:

Wednesday 8/16: MBOSC members arrive for long weekend. MBOSC is bringing 5 cases of Seabright Beer. You can join them, poach their beer, and do a ride, too.

Costs:
NorCAMBA is paying for the campgrounds, Saturday dinner and Sunday breakfast and lunch. We will be accepting donations to offset the costs if you want to contribute.

Registration for the weekend is free, but required so we can make sure we have enough pancake batter, trail work tools, ride maps, and campsites. We look forward to seeing you there. You can register here: http://www.norcamba.org/epic_registration.htm
