Join us this Tuesday evening at the NW Lucky Lab for
a presentation by John Lang and Justin Vander Pol of Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance
followed by Q&A and social time.

Evergreen is Washington's largest MTB club and advocacy group, which garnered national recognition with successful MTB projects like Seattle's Colonnade MTB Skills Park. John and Justin will talk about how the 20 year old organization, formerly known as BBTC, transformed itself from a regional club to a statewide MTB alliance, which now counts more than 1,000 members.

PUMP itself is currently working on a major reorg and rebranding, slated to be rolled out later this spring. This presentation will be a great opportunity to get inspired, learn more about how our MTB buddies to the north pulled it all off and exchange ideas on how PUMP can become a stronger force for developing and protecting MTB/trail opportunities in NW Oregon and SW Washington. The presentation will take about 30' and will be followed by another 30' of Q&A with the Evergreen folks. After that, there will be opportunity to chat with PUMP members and other MTB enthusiasts over a fresh pint of beer, meet the new PUMP board and comittees, including the various folks who lead our advocacy efforts, our trailwork parties and rides, and the marketing & membership programs.

Open to PUMP members and non-members alike.
