Apparel specialist, Club Ride notes that it ‘believes that trail systems and access to singletrack are the life blood of bike communities.’ With this in mind, the company has announced its first annual Impact Grant for 2019.
This spring, the company is giving one lucky trail group the ability to recive US$2,500 for a supported project.
In a release, Club Ride adds that ‘Working with our own trail coalition over the years has highlighted the need to extend our advocacy for singletrack to another trail organization. Our 2019 Impact Grant is designed to help a trail group in need of funding transform innovative ideas into successful opportunities for their community by awarding them $2,500 toward their project.’
Supporting local community: Trail systems should benefit and link the local community with the biking community. Local communities see the value in trail systems and vice versa.
Quality of life: trails are all about improving quality of life for its respective community.
Youth engagement, volunteerism: bringing youth and volunteer organizations into a trail project is vital. Any association with NICA (National Interscholastic Cycling Association) or other volunteer groups in your community is a plus.
