Why Join FATRAC

It is the generous donations of time and money from riders like you that allow mountain bike riding to expand while staying safe, sustainable and fun. With the support we’ve received from our members over the past few years, FATRAC has been able to:

• Build new trails, like Connector, Hidden Falls, and the new South Fork connector between Salmon Falls and Cronin Ranch.
• Maintain, repair, and reroute damaged trails like the Forest Hill Divide Loop, Salmon Falls, Hole in the Ground and Granite Bay.
• Organize special events like “Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day”, the “Cool Mtb Race”, and the “Spring Fling.”
• Provide free food and drinks at the monthly “Try the Divide” ride.
• Bring IMBA’s trail building crew to the area to train volunteers.
• Facilitate relationships with State Parks and other land managers to keep them informed of mtb’rs needs and protect their interests.
• Send FATRAC members to Washington D.C. to join with IMBA at the National Bike Summit, asking Congress for trail funding.
• Encourage and educate young people about the benefits of mountain biking.

We couldn’t have done all these things without the support of our great members! They have made a difference in the mountain biking movement and will continue to do so. We’ve accomplished a lot, but we know there is so much more work to do. Some of the upcoming projects we have in the works:

• 30 plus miles of new trail construction on the North Fork of the American River and at Hidden Falls.
• Finishing the South Fork Trail extension.
• The annual Tahoe Camp Out event to work with other NorCal clubs on the Donner Rim Trail.
• Keeping mountain bikers needs at the forefront of the new Unit Trails Plan being drafted for the Folsom State Recreation Area.
• And of course, keeping the trails you love in good shape!
   

And remember the additional benefits of membership: quarterly newsletters mailed right to your door, free swag at events, and %10 off at area bike shops!
