DONATE NOW to help us complete $300,000 of trail building in 2016

We have been talking an awful lot about all of the federal grant money that the Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Coalition secures to improve our trails in the George Washington National Forest. Well 2016 continues to be a red letter year for the SVBC in our quest to improve the trails in our National Forest. In 2016 we are on pace to spend a total of $300,000 of federal grant money in YOUR National Forest.

Where are we working now? Wolf Ridge (SM100 Trail) and Carr Mountain (VA Mountain Bike Trail)

We’ve told you before but these grants require us to come up with 20% match. While some of the match is in volunteer labor hours (your time in the National Forest is worth $26 an hour) we do need to come up with some cold hard CASH to match these federal grant dollars. Can’t volunteer? Please consider DONATING NOW We plan to spend about $75,000 each on Wolf Ridge and on the Carr Mountain Trail. The latest reroute on Wolf Ridge is finished and ready for you to ride! In the meantime, please, please, please, consider donating to help us raise the money we need to finish these projects.

Or, checks can be made payable to Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Coalition (or SVBC) and mailed to:

Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Coalition
PO Box 1014,
Harrisonburg, VA  22803
The SVBC is a 501 (c) (3) organization.  All monetary donations are tax deductible.
