DON’T MISS OUT - DEMO DAY is finally here THIS Sunday July 5^th Bigger and BETTER with 9 (yes 9) manufactures!

Here is the scoop:

Demo rides are free, if you are riding a demo bike then BRMBA will take you to the top on a shuttle truck (note this is NOT a shuttle day, shuttles are a thanks to the manufactures for donations to the annual raffle).

You are asked to limit the ride on each bike to one run so that the next person has an opportunity to try out the bike also.  Please don’t session during your run as again we would like to make sure everyone gets an opportunity to ride the demo.  After each run you will need to check in the bike and then it’s up to the manufacture if they can let you go for another run.  Demo’s are checked out by each manufacture and you will need to sign a waiver for each manufacture.  You will also need to sign a BRMBA waiver before getting on the shuttle so check in at the BRMBA tent to get your wrist band. 

What to bring:

• ID and credit card for security on the demo bike.
• Cash for BBQ lunches by Trace at the Black Rock Café’ (lunches are $10 and maybe be somewhat limited if we have a HUGE crowd so be prepared). 
• Cash if you wish to donate a few bucks to help cover the BRMBA shuttle trucks (suggested $5, fundraiser was light this year so every dollar helps!).
• HELMET is mandatory – pads are recommended
• Another rider, great chance for someone new to see what the trails are about and what kind of bike might work for them.
• Big smiles and lots of THANKS to pass out to all the trail builders you see; the guys and gals have been putting lots of time in this year to add features and make the trails better.  Better yet how about a big YES to write down on the list for next build season volunteers! 

What NOT to bring:

• Dogs: with the volume of people we expect this is one day we ask that you leave your favorite best friend home, for there safety! 

Parking:

This is the tricky part!  We will be having everyone drive up and parking along the road above the orange gate and on the road that runs behind where we do shuttle pickups. 
Here’s the key… PLEASE drive SLOWLY through the camp.  There will be a parking guide at the camp gate by the normal parking area with instructions, please follow them to the “T” so that we can make this as least interruptive as possible to the camp and it’s visitors.  For safety reasons and emergency access be sure to NOT BLOCK any part of the road when you park.

You wanted to check out a new bike, well here is your chance to ride some bikes from:

NORCO

Transition

Giant

Felt

Diamondback

Kona

Cove

Evil

Marin

5Ten has also provided some demo shoes some bring some fresh socks and try out the best biking shoe on the market (okay personal opinion). 

Any questions email and be ready to have a good time!

Important Reminders about the Black Rock Trails!

Hey there all; BRMBA wants to say THANK YOU to all trail users.  Things have been looking better in regards to people going to fast through the camp so thank you to everyone for slowing down and reminding everyone to be good neighbors to the camp.

Keep up the good work and keep you speed down!  

NOW we ask everyone to be a good neighbor again, but in a different area.  With summer here and with the road now being dry and extremely dusty we ask that the biking community set a good example for ALL drivers using the Black Rock road. 

Please slow down through the section of road just after the pavement where the homes are (or just before the pavement as you are heading back into town). 

BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR and slow down so that you lessen the dust as much as possible past these homes.  I’m sure you would appreciate drivers doing the same for you if you lived in one of these homes!  The couple minutes in additional drive time will earn you good trail karma (just like trail building does). 

When you see a home please slow down!

Local home owners will appreciate it! 

Still please remember the normal Black Rock rules:

1.           Staying on the road that leads up to the trails (please don’t trespass on the camp property; don’t drive past the camp entrance do not park in the camp field)!

2.           NEVER speed down the road through the camp at the end of the day!  The MAX speed is 15 MPH; better yet go slower, enjoy the view and wave and say hi to the campers! 

3.           Be courteous when parked, don’t change in direct view of passers by; remember there is no alcohol allowed in the parking lot (it’s a county road and it’s not legal).  Please remember this is a church camp and lots of kids are coming and going, they don’t need to see your bare backside!  Watch your language and please no loud music! 

4.           Leash your dog while one the camp property; DON’T let you dog use the camp field as a bathroom (kids play here and hey you don’t like falling in dog do-do and you don’t want that on your shoes!). 

PLEASE if it’s your first time to BR, take time to read the rules; If you are a REGULAR at BR then please be vocal, remind people when they aren’t following the rules (be nice, but SPEAK up!).  IT IS UP TO ALL OF US USERS TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE FOLLOWS THE RULES.  All we need is that one person to ruin it all for all of us!
