National Director's Blog
IMBA HQ – Boulder Colorado Boulder is way cool; a lovely town at the foot of some large mountains, with many cafes, restaurants, bike shops, galleries and trails. The main purpose of my visit was to spend some time with the IMBA staff to help outline the development of IMBA Australia and the support that they can provide to make it a success. I can say it has been inspiring and rewarding and Aussie riders will see the benefits of these discussions over the next 12 months. |

2010 IMBA World Summit – Day 1 http://www.imba.com/summit/2010_World_Summit.html Not only is Augusta, Georgia (USA) the birthplace of the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, it is also the location for the 2010 IMBA World Summit. It has been one hell of a trip to get here and I am still not fully adjusted to the time zone, but IMBA Australia is here to gather as much info as possible to bring it back home. It also means I have been on the road for over a month now. So if you think I am really bad at returning emails and phone calls, maybe now you can understand why; apologies nonetheless. |

A Blog, thought that was a good idea and it still is, just didn't realise how busy this was going to get. i.e. Being National Director for a brand new national trail advocacy organisation - IMBA Australia. So here I am, 4 months in and it is easily the most challenging endeavour I have ever embraced. There's no finish line, no drinks station, just obstacles and paperwork extending on into infinity. But hey, that's what life is all about, pushing yourself to new limits to see what you can do. The main reward, as always, is to see smiling people out there, in the bush, enjoying the trails. |
