Hello SAMBA,

Looks like summer is past and fall is here. Where does the time go? So what has SAMBA been doing? Over the Summer the Advisory Board has met several times in an effort to become an IMBA Chapter to improve and strengthen the Club. The Chapter program will help us focus on the trails with IMBA taking care of our membership (this will make you a member of both SAMBA and IMBA) as well as making us a non-profit club. This process should be complete by the end of the year and in that time we will be looking for people to help with various Committees. With your support SAMBA will be a stronger club that can better support Central Pennsylvania. I appreciate your support and patience as we move through this transition.

Upcoming event: Second annual mountain bike night ride at Governor Dick on October 5^th. Click here for more info.

Alert: Hunting season begins this Saturday, 9-29-12. Governor Dick is the only park that does not allow hunting. Click here for the hunting schedule.

Tuesday Night Rides: This was the last week for the ride due to the start of hunting season. Keep a look out for the announcement for when we can break out the lights. Should be late October.

Renewals: Once SAMBA becomes a Chapter of IMBA the renewal rat es will go up. So renew before the end of October to join at the current rate. Click here for a membership form.

See you out on the trail.

Brian Arnold, SAMBA President

Please be aware that hunting season for deer (archery) starts Sept 29-Nov 12. Swatara Park is a prime spot for hunting so if you go out to ride any day except Sunday, please wear bright orange.
