The Roaring Fork Mountain Bike Association (RFMBA), Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers (RFOV) & our sponsor Ute City Cycles / CIMA Cycles are proud to announce the winner of our 4th annual Bike Giveaway! This volunteer incentive program was run in collaboration by RFOV and RFMBA to encourage local trail users and mountain bikers to spend their time maintaining and building great trails for our communities.
Charlynn Maxwell Porter is our big winner for 2018 thanks to her time maintaining the Thomas Lakes Trail this past August!. By signing an RFOV waiver at the start of a public project, she became eligible, and is now the lucky owner of a sweet CIMA Highlands!
While this winter’s heavy snows have delayed pressure to finish the custom build up of her new bike, she’s already dreaming of spring desert trips and time riding with friends on our local trails when they open for the season!
