Trail Masters in the Community:
Volunteering:
Trail Masters makes it a priority to get involved in volunteer events for mountain bike
organizations such as International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA), Westchester
Mountain Bike Association (WMBA), and the Concerned Long Island Mountain Bicyclists
(C.L.I.M.B.). Some of the things that we've done with them are trail maintenance, trail
building, free skills clinics, and other promotional events.
Charity Events for Kids:
Trail Masters has done a number of charitable kids events in the past and will continue
to do so as long as the demand is there. In the past, we were the main event for the Boy
Scouts of America Bike-O-Ree. We were even able to loan an adapted bicycle to a
teenager with special physical needs so he could participate with his friends. Most
recently, we volunteered for a "Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day" through IMBA. We took
out a group of kids from Big Brothers and Big Sisters. These events are so much fun!
Trail Maintenance:
On a regular basis, Tom will work on local trails, even when he's not volunteering or
"working." He is adamant about respecting the trails, including not riding on them when
they are wet and not making 'go-arounds.' When he sees that someone has illegally
altered a trail, he will redirect the trail in the right direction. He takes advantage of his
position as a trail guide to educate riders, new and experienced, on the importance of
trail etiquette.
