	- N.H.M.B.A. Gets Involved: A sub-commitee was formed to create an educational program. The goal is to have a multi-media program that can be brought to local schools that will emphasize _responsible_ mountain bike riding practices. The group believes that if they can impress the younger riders, future trail closings can be avoided. - N.H.M.B.A. Adopts the I.M.B.A. Riders Code: 1. Ride on open trails only 2. Leave no trace 3. Control your bicycle 4. Always yield trail 5. Never spook animals 6. Plan ahead - N.H.M.B.A. Goes Official: The N.H.M.B.A. has become affiliated as member clubs with the National Off-Road Bicycle Association. The club has also been registered with the State of New Hampshire as a non-profit corporation. Sponser shops can sanction NORBA events when they join. - N.H.M.B.A. Gets Busy: The N.H.M.B.A. plans to continue it's role as a partner in the White Mountain Trails Day 1992. See reply #2.
2320.4	Summer Group Ride #1 20-Jun-1992	GEMA::IVERSEN	`Fri Jun 19 1992 09:26`	13
	Join the NHMBA for the next fun ride. This time we'll ride from Waterville Valley up Tripoli Road through Thornton Gap, and down onto the Brown Ash Swamp Mountain Bike Trail. At the South end of the trail we pick up some forest roads that lead to the Dickey Notch Mountain Bike Trail. Then we'll pedal up rte 49 back into Waterville Valley. It's about a 22 mile ride, with about half off-road. The Brown Ash Swamp section can be nasty after a rain, so we'll have an alternate route in mind for wet weather. Be sure to bring plenty of food and water, as this is about a 3 - 3 1/2 hour ride. Some bug dope would be appropriate also. We will meet at Mountain Valley Bikes at the Town Square in Waterville Valley at 10am on Saturday June 20th. Be there !!!
