Mountain Biking Weekend Camp-Out at Mt. Allamuchy Scout Reservation

The Mt. Allamuchy Scout Reservation (sight of 24HOA) is in the early stages of planning a weekend Mountain Biking camp out. Event could possibly take place same weekend as the 24HOA. The camp would make sites available to the public and its trails open for riding. There would be group rides for all ages and ability levels. Also, we'd like to arrange a bike repair seminar, skills clinic, and trail building class. We'll be contacting JORBA, the IMBA, VMB, and MTBNJ for advice and to hopefully get their participation in what could make for an amazing weekend mountain biking.

As the event organizer I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Daniel Brodeen, I'm 33 and race CAT 2. I participate in the H2H series and area endurance races. I served as Mt. Biking Director for 4 years at Mt. Allamuchy Scout Reservation from 2004 to 2008. I got my start racing at the 24HOA in 2006.

I'm hoping that the VMB community can give me their expert opinions on what they'd like to see offered and give me some feedback on the whole idea. During the event we'd like to hold an open forum to discuss scheduling a race for the 2011 season. The 24HOA may be gone this year but that doesn't mean we can't replace it with something even more popular!
