National Mountain Bike Patrol eNews: December
Instructor Certification Course Scheduled for January
Treat Yourself to a Holiday Gift!
Marin Mountain Bike Patrol Off in the Weeds
Thank You for Another Great Year
Instructor Certification Course Scheduled for January
Due to an overwhelming response to our first instructor certification webinar, held in October, we've set the date for a second certification course. We're expecting registration to fill up quickly, so make sure to sign up soon! Don't forget, the NMBP's instructor certification policies are changing, and eventually, everyone acting as an instructor will have to participate in a webinar session. Current instructors who would like to take advantage of our grandfather clause should complete the online questionnaire before Jan. 1, 2010.

Marin Mountain Bike Patrol Off in the Weeds
The Marin Mountain Bike Patrol is well known as a helpful addition to the trails community in California's Bay Area, and they recently showed that their talents aren't limited to patrol activities. Several patrollers joined a group effort to eradicate invasive weeds in the Mount Tamalpais watershed. For more details, check out the Think Blue Marin Blog.
Thank You for Another Great Year
As 2009 comes to a close, IMBA and the NMBP would like to thank you all for your hard work as some of our most dedicated volunteers. As always, we appreciate your feedback, hours reports, questions, thoughts and ideas. Keep up the great work, and here's to another great year in 2010!
2009 Statistics as of press time:
Hours of patrolling: 4,004
Individual hours reports: 822
Current NMBP members: 630
