The web site will be going through a major change over the next few weeks. I'll put up Construction Warnings now so you know that things are in transition. The site will draw upon new ideas that will be discussed at the first Board Meeting of 2008 next week. For the time being, go to the Club Mud Forums for all that you need regarding the Club and it's activities. I'll post some of the new things that develop out of the Board Meeting so you can all share in what we have planned for the new year.
Quiet Waters re-build continues to take shape. The Park and IMBA folks are working closely together to put things in motion. As most of you are anxious to step up and lend a hand, this first phase will not include the many volunteers who are ready to grab a shovel. When the opportunity arises, Park officials will be calling for those that have filled out the proper Volunteer Forms. Check with your local Broward County Park for the Volunteer Forms as only those that have filled out the form and submitted will be allowed to participate in any volunteer work required at Quiet Waters.
ClubMud is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that aims to improve South Florida mountain biking through trail maintenance, advocacy, and community events. We are an entirely volunteer based group that consists of folks who work together to build and maintain the mountain bike trails at Oleta, Markham, and Quiet Waters Park. As an IMBA affiliated Club we strive to create, enhance and preserve trail opportunities throughout the region. ClubMud works with local government, bike shops, cyclists, and all other interested parties to assure that South Floridians have access to quality, well maintained trails.
Club Mud Forums - your link to the Message boards
As we move forward and make changes to the website, we encourage you to visit our Member Forums. It's a good starting place to find out what is currently going on in the club. See where members are meeting up for rides, gathering for Trail Maintenance, or just follow threads of discussion on various topics from Trail Conditions, where to get the best deals on parts or very mundane discussions that have absolutely NOTHING to do with cycling, mainly topics to entertain.
Simply follow the links to Club Mud Forums to get to where you want to go. In order to participate in the Forums, you will be required to register with the Message Board. This is not an automatic registration with the club. For that...
What you can do...
Your membership will help to represent the large number of riders who deeply care about the future of our trails and riding community in South Florida. ALL membership fees and donations are reinvested back into our trail systems. We are a volunteer driven organization, so please keep in mind that your time is as valuable as any monetary contribution. Along with our trail maintenance and advocacy efforts, we like to have fun. Actually, we like to have LOTS of bacchanalia-like fun. We do this through community events intended to offer riders new experiences, bring new riders into the sport, and generally put a smile on your face. Some of the events include group rides, women's only rides, night rides,etc .
So, what is Club Mud? Well, we are what you make us.
