IMPORTANT MATCHING DONATIONS NEEDED

$2,000 Challenge Remaining to be Raised

Please help CAMBA its singletrack trail building initiative by making a donation to the “Save the Trails” fund facilitated by the Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival. When you do, Trek Bicycles will match your donation.

The Save the Trails fund is a program that allows mountain bikers to make donations to be directed to support CAMBA’s trail development efforts. Trek has generously agreed to match up to $10,000 of these donations. To date this year $8,000 has been received. That leaves $2,000 to be raised in order to qualify for the full matching donation from Trek.

You can help CAMBA reach this goal by making a generous donation to the Save the Trails fund. To do so please send a check payable to Save the Trails and mail it to Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival, P.O. Box 267, Cable, WI 54821.

As you may know, CAMBA has been building an extensive network of singletrack trails in northern Sawyer and southern Bayfield Counties. In just the last four years close to 50 miles of new trails have been constructed. This is an ambitious and expensive proposition, however, costing $3,500 to $4,500 per mile!

Your assistance is greatly needed and greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping us make the Chequamegon Area one of the best places to ride a fat tire bike in the country.

Feel free to forward this appeal to all of your mountain biking friends, business associates and others who you feel might support this effort.

Thanks.
