Congrats to our MCMBA volunteer of the year - Michael Faulk! 

For the past several years Michael has invested much of his life into building and polishing Lakeshore Park's trail features, especially the signature Pump Track. If you've ridden Lakeshore you've probably seen him out there, shovel in hand, tweaking a lip or berm until the flow was perfect. 

Thanks Michael!

Please join us in thanking our MCMBA FAFL winners for 2015! 

As we announced back in April, we've expanded our FAFL volunteer appreciation program to include all volunteer contributions to the chapter this year, not just trail work. To qualify, each of these volunteers reported at least 10 hours of boots on the ground trailwork or at least 30 hours of time on other chapter activities, such as helping to organize a race, hosting a riding clinic, or on duty as a National Mountain Bike Patroller. But that really doesn't tell the whole story - the average FAFL winner this year volunteered a full 40 hour work week on the trails, or three 40 hour work weeks on other activities!
