IMBA Summit and Trek Bicycles
The crew of Talon Trails met in Park City, Utah, for the bi-annual IMBA World Summit, a four day meeting of trail advocates from many US states, Canada, Mexico, and nine other countries. We sat in on several sessions as well as a meeting of IMBA trail builders, their contractors, and interested parties. Of course, we rode every day possible, with Dewayne getting to ride 12 days in a row from a few days before the Summit to a few days after.
Currently, we’re in Waterloo, WI, working on the Trek Test Track. IMBA’s Trail Solutions’ Joey Klein and Dan Hudson designed and started construction on Trek’s first downhill trail with rock features, berms, a step-up jump, log drop, and two bridges over the XC trail. That’s where Talon Trails comes in; we’re designing and building the bridges, which stand about eight feet over the trail. They’ll be unique features in this trail systems and serve them well for a long time.
