If you enjoy Mtn. Biking on Long Island then you probably have been riding on a trail built and maintained by CLIMB. I'm sure most Mtn. Bikers would acknowledge that CLIMB certainly knows how to design challenging trails. As a small point, maybe you've noticed the numberous drainage paths on each of the trails ... you'd certainly notice the lack of drainage if you rode within a week of prior rain. I think the least someone who rides CLIMB built/maintained trails can do is to be a member of CLIMB to help support their great efforts. If you can't do that dollar wise (or if you want to do more then paying the dues) then you can always respond to the appeal below:
".... Please donate to CLIMB's Trail Fund. Your donation is necessary
for us to help keep our trails open so we can continue to build
more riding opportunities and more trails for mountain biking.
How much does mountain biking mean to you? Hopefully, a lot! We
hope you'll give accordingly.

Mountain biking is good for the body, good for the mind, and good
for the trails. It's good for our kids and our communities. For most
of us, it's a key ingredient in our lives that we cannot do without.
Please support CLIMB and what we do to make mountain biking better
throughout Long Island. Your donation to CLIMB is an investment in
the future of mountain biking.

2010 was the year of the family, and we put special emphasis on
getting families riding together with CLIMB. Mountain biking is
a perfect activity for the whole family and there's nothing more
fun than seeing a bunch of children riding together. Our 3rd Annual
Fat Tire Fest had record attendance!
A lot of our advocacy goes on behind the scenes. Whether it's
fighting of equitable access, providing expert comment to state
and federal agencies about mountain biking, or defending our
sport against some extremists would like to see mountain biking
banned, CLIMB is there fighting for you and for our sport.
The future is in your hands Please make a donation today
