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. Most recently, Trail Masters Touring is
planning a trike-a-thon for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. 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.
