For those interested in joining the National Mountain Bike patrol . . . read on.
IMBA's National Mountain Bike Patrol (NMBP) program organizes and supports volunteer bike patrols throughout the United States and around the world. Patrollers provide assistance to hikers, equestrians, and especially mountain bikers. They give information, provide directions, help with minor repairs, and provide first aid. IMBA assists in forming new patrol groups, certifies individual patrollers, and helps to provide equipment and medical supplies The local Wisconsin Chapter of the NMBP will be conducting patroller trailing the first two weekends on June. The first event (June 1 & 2) will be at the Southern Kettles and the second event (June 8 & 9) is planned at 9-mile park in Wausau. Contact Brian Leininger at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you would like to attend one of the events. If you have any general questions about the NMBP then please contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] The following two links will give a little info on the NMBP locally. http://www.worba.org/ubb/Forum3/HTML/000007.html http://www.worba.org/ubb/Forum4/HTML/000009.html In addition, the link below will give you information about the National Mountain Bike Patrol's history, goals, and other misc stuff. http://www.imba.com/nmbp/index.html Cheers, --------------------------- --- Brian Leininger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]: Reply-to: Brian Leininger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sat, 25 May 2002 12:06:47 -0700 (PDT) From: Brian Leininger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Multiple recipients of Worba <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: WORBAlist: NMBP-WI training June 1-2 Hi everyone, This is just a reminder that while we have a free patrol training class scheduled for June 1-2 at Southern Kettles, you *must* pre-register for it. Please contact me ASAP if you wish to participate in this training. To become a patroller, you must complete one of these training sessions, have current First Aid/CPR certifications, be a member in good standing of WORBA, IMBA, and NMBP, and complete one ride with an experienced patroller. You can take the patrol training class before you get First Aid/CPR certifications. If you have any questions, or wish to sign up for the class, please contact me via email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks!
