Pedal Pushers Cyclery is coming up their One Year anniversary in Golden and to celebrate we are holding a "Give Back to The Community" Night. This coming Wednesday, February 24th from 6-8 pm we'll be celebrating at the shop in style with New World Disorder 10 showings, adult beverages, vendors and we'll be selling $5 tickets which can win you fun stuff from:

SRAM,
Ibis,
Deuter,
Fizik,
Camelback,
Park Tools, and others too....

Tickets will be sold at the door only and all proceeds will go to benefit COMBA, specifically the Golden Bike Park.
Cheers,

The PPC Crew

On Tuesday, February 16th, we will be making a formal presentation to the City of Golden Parks and Recreation Advisory Board regarding the proposed Golden Bike Park. This is an open-house event, starting at 7 PM at the Golden Community Center. We are expecting opposition from local neighbors and are calling on supporters to attend- especially residents of Golden or nearby areas. This is the first step of two for the approval process, which we hope to have granted by month's end for early Spring groundbreaking. Please join us next Tuesday evening and let Golden know that this is a good idea!

Annual Meeting Thank You

It was great to see all of our COMBA members and friends out at the American Mountaineering Center in Golden last Thursday. Without your support and volunteer effort COMBA would not have achieved nearly as much in 2009.

We are also looking forward to the continued successes of COMBA for 2010 with all the current projects such as the Buffalo Creek Black Diamond Trail, the creation of the Golden Bike Park and the Ambassador program just to name a few.

Get Involved

We are extremely excited to announce that Bikes Belong --the U.S. bicycle industry organization dedicated to putting more people on bicycles more often-- has awarded a $10,000 grant to COMBA for the further pursuit of our urban bike park project proposed for the City of Golden!

COMBA is now an official Chapter of the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA). We have long been an "affiliate," along with hundreds of other clubs across the nation. However, we are pleased to have been selected as one of only a handful of clubs to participate in the launch of a new Chapter program which IMBA will be rolling out in coming years.

Win one before you can buy one!

Thanks to the generosity of Entropy Bikeworks, COMBA is pleased to offer you the first chance to get this sweet new 29'er frame and fork!

Dear Ms. Gadd and Mr. Klima:

Join us Wednesday, Oct. 7th, at 7pm, for a special IMBA/COMBA Movie Night Fundraiser down at the REI Flagship store in Denver. Freedom Riders is the story of a small core group of riders who evolved from covertly building rough and unsustainable trails to creating a precedent-setting relationship with National Forest Service and crafting some of the best freeride trails in the country. Tickets: $5 at the door. Doors open at 6pm. Proceeds benefit the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) and the Colorado Mountain Biking Association (COMBA).

COMBA would like to express our thanks to the approximately 400 mountain bikers who attended last night's meeting of the Jefferson County Open Space Advisory Commission regarding Apex Park. It was truly one of the finest hours for Front Range mountain bikers. You should all be tremendously proud.

Everyone carried themselves with respect and class, sending a clear message to Jefferson County officials: Mountain bikers are an important constituency that cannot and should not be ignored. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
